Blessed

Have you ever realized how blessed you are? I mean it in the Christian sense, but for non-Christians as well - have you ever noticed just how much you have? I know it's past Thanksgiving and the whole being thankful bit's kind of done and over with, but I can't help feeling that I've just been so blessed. Do I have anything in particular to be thankful for? I have no job, no love prospects, no real hope for the future (especially in this economy) and yet, I'm happy.

Honestly, if you think about society nowadays, there's a lot to be thankful for. We live in a society where if you run out of food, you just run to the grocery store to get more. Where more people don't want war than do. Where the government (however unreliable it seems) is pretty stable (yes, it's going downhill, but people are still somehow making a living, are they not?). Yes, there are many people who do not have enough, who want more, who can't afford to buy groceries, etc. but we live in a society where people like this help out those who need it.

In the end, if you focus on what you don't have, there's no end. When you realize what you do have, all of a sudden, the world doesn't seem like such a terrible place.

I suppose this entry is pretty fluffy because I mean if you really want to make a counterargument, I would probably wouldn't be able to say much in return. In the end, my point is that there's a lot to be thankful for in this world. It's all a matter of how one looks at it, right?
