The Monday Thought
With Thanksgiving three days away, it’s time for all of us to pause and give thanks.
No matter the struggles that we have and we face as a people and as a society, we still remain the greatest nation that has ever existed on the face of this earth.
Almost every American, no matter how much they have, has a higher standard of living than many people in the entire world.
We live in a nation that has developed a vaccine against a deadly novel disease in the middle of a pandemic.
We live in a nation that has freedom of speech.
We live in a nation that has free and fair elections, no matter how much losers like Donald Trump and his lemmings claim otherwise.
We live in a nation where the highest level of oppression that somebody has ever faced is being asked to wear a cloth mask.
So for this Thanksgiving, I ask you to join me in giving thanks by decompressing this week.
The rest of the week, I’m not going to write a single piece on this site about politics. I might write about other things, but not about politics this week. I’m going to try to not talk about politics on social media. I’m going to enjoy time with my family, enjoy the holiday, and enjoy football……though with the Ravens in a tailspin and playing Pittsburgh on Thanksgiving Night, that last part might be a problem.
Politics has become too much of a part of everyday society, a longtime gripe of mine. Instead of focusing on that this holiday, focus on what’s in front of you and what you already have. This Thanksgiving, don’t pass judgment; just pass the stuffing.
