With Thanksgiving coming up and
us being the “Millennial Generation”
and feel entitled to everything, I
feel as if it may be time for a bit of
a refresher on reflection and being
grateful.
From my years of working in retail
and listening to customers, I’ve
noticed that the only thing a lot of
people look forward to Thanksgiving
about is the Black Friday sales. Like,
seriously?!
Now I know you’re thinking, “I’m
grateful for everything I have, don’t
lump me in with those people,” but
hear me out. A lot of times as young
people and as Americans, we often
time don’t think about the little
things that we think of as a right that
others would sometimes trade their
life to be your life.
Take for instance Flint, Michigan.
THEY DO NOT HAVE CLEAN
DRINKABLE WATER.
Think about that for a minute,
no clean drinkable water. The lead-
infested water is not even clean
enough to take a bath, brush their
teeth or cook here in the good ol’
United States of America.
While you’re complaining about
how you have to set the table or wash
the dishes after you eat, be grateful
that you can use the water that
comes out of the sink to wash your
dishes.
Now I don’t want you to take this
as me barking and preaching at you
to be a good person, I just want you
to keep everything in perspective and
think about the things you value as
rights, others consider a luxury.
Isn’t that what Thanksgiving is
supposed to be about anyway?
(Besides the whole murdering of
the Indigenous people part?)
