Are you thankful of what you have or not? My dad has taught me to thank god every time I earn things or receive gifts from others. I was taught to be thankful for everything I have and to know when things get out of hand, or I know that some have worse.
Are you thankful for what you have?.. because if you keep wanting and wanting, you can die in a hole and go to hell.
Be thankful and respect the fact your alive, some babies don't even see the light when they die.

So are you thankful for the things you have or not? And why?

Yes I'm thankful for the things I have. Think of those poor Asian and African families, they are out there starving with no resources at all. Not to turn this into a racial matter but it's sad. Another reason is because not all people have money. My family is even needs a lot more money. Money, money, money. Is that what this world is based upon?

I'm very thankful for what I have. I mean most of us take everything for granted, I mean just think of the possibility that a tornado, hurricane or sum other disaster took all your belongings and possibly some of you family.

Same here with me, leads back to what I said above.

Money, money, money. Is that what this world is based upon?


Yes it is sadly, mainly cause if we didn't have money and just took what we wanted no one would work, no workers no products, then it'd send us all into a war over resources. (Hope that part made sense)

THis made me laugh so hard, it brought tears to my eyes.
And yes I am very thankful for eerything I have, and I think I speak honestly when I say that most people do, there are probably only a handful of people that don't, and well out of that handful most of them have issues.

Of course I'm thankful, even though I've been through sh**. Gotta love what you have right?

Unfortunately you can also be thankful of money but at some point get greedy.. and so on.


Money, money, money. Is that what this world is based upon?


Yes. The world Revolves around money (And the Sun) and it's kind of sucks, but if we didn't have money we wouldn't have all the things we have now.. such as xbox and stuff.

Yes it is sadly, mainly cause if we didn't have money and just took what we wanted no one would work, no workers no products, then it'd send us all into a war over resources. (Hope that part made sense)


Some of it made sense.. the last part is that if there is no workers and no one would work then there would be no massive resources, or other things that we enjoy.

You gotta be thankful because it's polite.

It shows you have good manners.

Of course I'm thankful. As has been said, things could always be worse, and I have it much better than I believe most people in the world do.

You gotta be thankful because it's polite.

Are you saying you wouldn't be if not for some social contract that required it?

You gotta be thankful because it's polite.

So if it wasn't polite you wouldn't be thankful, try rewording that so that you don't sound like your only thankful because you "it's polite".

Hey my friend, posting just to say that posting under seven words is spam, is spam.

This might be spam too, but I have to remind people.

And while I'm at it..

I'm thankful for what I have. Even though I'm not always actively conscious of that, I am thankful.

That made me chuckle lol.

Yes, I am thankful for what I have. This is also a trait taught to me by my parents. What parents teach us seem to really be the same for each country.
