Being thankful is countercultural at the moment...
Marketing is mostly about making you feel like you need something, new or replaced, or can’t afford to miss out...
Politics is mostly about highlighting the deficiencies of your opponent, fixing something that is wrong, etc...
Marketers, policitians, etc, all tell us these things because they want something from us… They want us to believe at at least in a small way (or perhaps big) they are saving us from something...
Being thanksful reminds us of what we have… Reminds us of our dependance on God, on others, parents, friends, even luck...
