It's good to give thanks, and to feel thankful. I get so grateful sometimes I've come close to posting just to say how great human beings are, or life is in general. I was fighting the urge this past week.
That's because being thankful doesn't have to mean switching off our critical functions or blindly accepting. Those critical functions, and a refusal to simply accept things as they stand, are what made possible much of what we're presumably feeling thankful for today.
I'm grateful for you, especially if you get some of what I've been getting at here over the years - and maybe more especially if you don't, but you keep coming back to work on it.

The mood today made me think of Samsara, a perfect piece of holiday viewing, and if you haven't seen it, I recommend it. Baraka too. It could be useful inspiration for strange new worlds, and there's an especially relevant 15 minutes at around the 47-minute mark.
