Columbus didn’t discover the Americas any more than the Pilgrims invented Thanksgiving. Gratitude is the final word and the unifying creed of all living things. As Camus said:
“Every man alive was privileged; there was only one class of men, the privileged class. All alike would be condemned to die one day; his turn, too, would come like the others’. “
So we work, write, sing, help and dance! It’s more than worth it; it’s cause for celebration!
