In the Land of Wanton Greed, Make Room For Appreciation

American holiday’s have been reduced to the lowest common metrosexual trait of them all: consumerism. Everyone is out and about spending their money on “emergency” scarves, televisions and doll houses, dressed like jackasses clad in fur and velour. In a land fitted between the dagger and knife, it’s easy to become actively violent towards your neighbor, wanting him to perish in the fires of fury, throwing garbage  on his lawn because he likes to feed the deer. But Thanksgiving is supposed to be more than that.

No, I am not talking about celebrating the wholesale elimination of the indigenous folk who occupied these lands at the hands of our Euro-Americanus forefathers. I am talking about being thankful, in all the corniest ways possible, for things that you possess.

As citizens of a better class of people, this Thanksgiving, tell your loved ones that they are in your living will because fate has brought them to your realm. Inform them that you appreciate the meatloaf every Tuesday and the fact that no one has attempted to bankrupt you yet, in earnest.

Speaking from Blogmaster to reader, I can only reveal a very small piece of my true feelings, else things might start to get weird around here. Just know, “The Fly” relishes in the back and forth at iBankCoin, the occasion “self-inflicted fellatio” and course banning you from ever entering these halls again.

Thank you and good night.

    News is all about the difficulties of travel for Thanksgiving followed by commercials of the joys of Black Friday. Mentions of Black Friday now dominate as if that is the true holiday.

    Thanksgiving is about a dead turkey, indians catching a cold and family.

    Happy Thanksgiving Fly from Euro-er-Merica Canada (we can’t make up our minds round here) Reading between these here lines, this is one of your most revealing and important posts. You are a most distinguished, gentlemanly and intelligent person – and might I say – humane – despite your proclivity to violence toward your enmities, vulgarity towards your devotees, and general rage against the state of affairs of humanity. To your sir, I tip my top hat, recognizing kindred spirit, and step silently upon my way. Indeud.

    I am thankful for those working to keep our lives safe and comfortable this Thanksgiving

    – The Water Department man who keep the tap flowing
    – Mr. Police Officer
    – The folks who keep our hospitals going for sick and ill loved ones.
    – Airport and airline workers out in the cold working so our loved ones can travel to see us.
    – Mr. Electric Man
    and many more. They are busting ass while we are cozy in our financial enclave.
    Thank you for my fellow hard working American.

    There is a street in rural Florida, where at one end a homeowner feeds the wild pigs, and at the other end another homeowner shoots the wild pigs.

    Neighbors feeding deer?
    Have a new family that moved down the road and a bear broke through his screen, raided the mini cooler and drank a dozen or so beers.
    The beer of choice- Coors Light.
    BTW, the Orlando paper the other day said the zip code that I live in has the most frequent calls in Florida to the Fish and Wildlife people about bears.
    Happy Thanksgiving to all.

    ? Thanksgiving Letter from Paramahansa Yogananda ?

    Every day should be a day of Thanksgiving for all the gifts of Life — sunshine, water, the luscious fruits and greens, which we receive as indirect gifts from the Great Giver.

    He makes us work so that we may consciously and thankfully deserve to receive His Gifts.

    The All-Sufficient One does not need the benefit of our thankful hearts, but when we are grateful to the Fountain of all gifts, our attention is concentrated for our own highest benefit upon the only Great Source of all supply.

    He alone can unfailingly, un-deceivingly bestow upon us the lasting gifts of wisdom, abundance, and spiritual treasures without the confinement of any mundane measure.

    There are millions of people today who are drunk with egotism, who think that they keep themselves alive because they feed themselves with their self-earned magic gold of delusion.

    They never stop to think that man can neither make a grain of wheat, nor a leaf of green, nor the illusory, glittering, yellow gold, nor the paper and ink of which greenbacks are made.

    Neither can he create first life independently of God — the life that gives power to the precious green papers.

    For these people, Thanksgiving Day, although soiled with the blood of unthankful turkeys, is a great day of awakening. It is a day of thinking of the most important and the most forgotten Molder of our Destiny.

    Millions of people who eat turkey forget to thank God at all, and think more of the turkey than of God. But many of you could thank God in meditation more consciously while munching on the meat of peace, than while dipping your lips in the gravy and the flavor-camouflaged flesh of a turkey, where once sensitiveness guarded the throne of Life.

    If you eat turkey, be sure to stuff it with the best Bliss-spiced dressing of thankful remembrance of God and His highest gifts of wisdom, peace, and power to accomplish.

    And thank God that you are not the turkey, to be used for the festivity of Thanksgiving!

    Anyway, don’t mind my sympathy for the turkey, for I am more sympathetic toward you, who are superior to the turkey.

    God is waiting to hear your unceasing knock of devotion so that He can open the Gates of Omnipresence to receive you. Whether you eat turkey or not does not matter if you will only knock hard with devotion on the doors of your heart.

    Make every day a day of Thanksgiving, and continuous contentment will sparkle in your body, mind, and soul. Be sure to search for the all-freeing God from now on, until you find Him on the brink of unceasing seeking.

    — Paramahansa Yogananda; Letter to Students and Friends, Inner Culture, November 1934
