?What are you thankful for

 

[flutter girl]

Thanksgiving is in two months

I have time to think about it.

 

[AnnabeI Lee]

Thanksgiving is against my ideology

it's not funny ../images/Emo2.gif

 

[AnnabeI Lee]

It really is.

 

[flutter girl]

I thought it was funny

because it's not a real holiday IMO, and I don't know what kind of ideology you have that doesn't agree with Thanksgiving, but it must be strong.

 

[AnnabeI Lee]

The one that says

that when a whole group of people is massacred for profit you shouldn't celebrate it by killing a bunch of turkeys.

 

[flutter girl]

And still

I'm going for the whole "it's not a real holiday" approach.

 

[AnnabeI Lee]

What do you mean?

What makes it not a holiday? Besides, even if it's not a holiday what does that have to do with its level of morality?

 

[flutter girl]

I keep forgetting

you live in the states.

When you live in Israel, it's not a holiday for you.

 

[lol lypop]

[lol lypop]

ok, but i'm not the one

who asked the question

 

[yuval k]

Hmm

Currently, I'm thankful for being given the opportunity to go back to Israel, even though my parents and brothers are staying in the US. I really appreciate this, even though my mum thinks I don't. Of course, I'm grateful for the related things, the most important of which is being able to go to uni in only around a month---that's something I've been wanting to do for a long time, and it finally happens, earlier than I anticipated. Everything else is minor. Even if I have to stop my studies for the army, and even if I have to give up mo'edey bet just to go and be with my family for Passover, and even if I have to give up one week of classes (which /is/ a lot

) just for their green-card purposes, it's important to look at the big picture. I've begun seeing like that only a few days :] Not that everything's absolutely great, and there is a lot of stress and much worrying and not a lot of support, but I have to look on the better side And I'm grateful for having impossibly-amazing friends, even though I don't get to talk to them too much now (because I live 7 hours behind, or 3 hours ahead); and I'm grateful for having some friends here, too, because it's important to have someone to miss, besides family.
