It's a really lovely idea, having a festival that's purely about Giving Thanks, and (although I've not experienced it directly) it doesn't seem to have had quite the commercial invasion that the likes of Christmas has. Of course, it's only a small minority of the world that this North American holiday has any meaning to. A few of the guys at my work are celebrating Eid today: Thanksgiving / Celebration of Sacrifice - they seem to express similar sentiments. I wonder if the US date was chosen to coincide... |

The irony, haha, setting aside a date to be Thankful...........
Are we not Thankful everyday?!?
Then again things are what they are and we are just experiencing these things....

Maybe people need help to feel a bit thankful, whats wrong with that? It's not like they choose to be idiots, everyone does the best they can, so to speak. Over here we don't have the tradition of thanksgiving. But it is so dark here in the winter that we celebrate the middle of summer (when the sun almost doesnt set at night). And all december we have candles and lights everywhere, to light things up |

Yes, agree, hence the reason for the last sentence. Things are what they are, nothing wrong, everything IS as such |

Things are what they are, nothing wrong, everything IS as such But that isn't to say that things don't sometimes need to change, wouldn't you agree? P |

P Peter, I find the hardest change for me is to accept things for what they are. I have dealt with many issues from my past and still working on cleaning out the cob webs. The toughest battle for myself is the self and ZD's thread "the stickiness of thoughts" is the core of it. Change is always happening and progresses along, moving forward, continuously. I find myself at times keeping "hold" of the ideas that I need to do something to help people "see" the grand scale of things, but why? All I'm creating is a selfhood of my own ideas, allowing myself to become my own victim, creating my own discontent. Arrgggggg....such a foolish person with such dread I must realize it's all in my head. I feel someNothing explained it quite well. Things are what they are, ever changing, we can see it and we can feel it. We must just learn to BE, everything else will fall in place. |

Well said dramos. To really see that clearly means it's only a matter of time before spiritual gravity takes over and everything clicks into place. Take heart in knowing that you are doomed. |

Whoa! Things keep appearing in the dreamscape that I didn't expect. Senses, perceptions, thoughts, synapses, hmmmm....existence/triune brain/body-mind dance doing its thing. Interesting to observe!    Going deeper,,, beyond all this conceptual stuff.....ahem. |
