thank you, luck

you put me in America with enough food and money to comfortably live my life.

i just saw this documentary about little kids drinking mud out of a dirty plastic bottle and eating clay because there was absolutely nothing else.

anyone here probably can agree with me that we could be someone with a horrible life, struggling in millions of different ways but instead we are the free and happy.

today i was sitting in mc donalds watching the people dump a bunch of old fries into the trash can thinking "i would eat those." after that documentary i feel selfish for eating anything at all...

so this thread is to give thanks to god (if you exist), my father, and america (where i live), for giving me everything i have. even though its not EVERYTHING, i am thankful for just being lucky and you should be too

what are you guys thankful for?

I'm torn on being thankful that I can experience the things I do, but realize that my experiences come at the expense of many of the people you described. I can wear the clothes I do and eat the food I do because people around the world are being exploited for my benefit.
