Title: Have a miserable Thanksgiving
Post by: AKIron on November 21, 2007, 03:24:43 PM
Just when I thought I'd heard it all:

"But what got the Internet abuzz was Myth No. 11: "Thanksgiving is a happy time." It was followed by "Fact: For many Indian people, 'Thanksgiving' is a time of mourning ... a bitter reminder of 500 years of betrayal returned for friendship.""


From the reservation though:

"But one Seattle-area tribe says Thanksgiving is not somber on the reservation but a time to see friends and family, as it is for other Americans."

you can either be a pathetic loser who seeks out and soaks up depression like a dried up sponge or you can be thankful for life.  Life is beautiful.

Beware of people that are depressed and try to depress you down to their level.  Offer them a ride to the hospital, just to get away from them.

Bravo, Yeager.  Sort of like Desiderata, my favorite philosophy summary.

I second that, Yeager!

Have as happy a time as you feel you should!

Otherwise enjoy your depression!
