Huffington Post – A
Pluralist’s Interfaith Thanksgiving.
The article weaves through several religions touching the heart and
soul of each one.
It's just not you, ask Bill
Gates,
whom God has blessed, he would say not enough! Ask the Homeless; the
answer is still the same, not enough. Who has enough then? Then read
the incredible story of gratitude. Appaiah turned around and asked
me instead “Isn’t there so much to thank the lord?” I was rendered
speechless. Here is a man with nothing to hope for, yet he is not
complaining, that is gratitude!
The Native
Americans believe that the world is one large family,
inter-connected and inter-dependent web of life, where each one of
us is a strand, what affects one, affects the other. It behooves us
to care for each other for the web to remain intact. Indeed,
Hinduism titles this beautifully, “Vasudaiva Kutumbukum” – the whole
world is one family.
