Don't Just Give Thanks. Pay It Forward One Act Of Kindness At A Time

• zerohedge.com by John Whitehead

It's been a year in which tyranny took a step forward and freedom got knocked down a few notches.

It's been a year with an abundance of bad news and a shortage of good news.

It's been a year of too much hate and too little kindness.

Now we find ourselves approaching that time of year when, as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln proclaimed, we're supposed to give thanks as a nation and as individuals for our safety and our freedoms.

It's not an easy undertaking.

How do you give thanks for freedoms that are constantly being eroded? How do you express gratitude for one's safety when the perils posed by the American police state grow more treacherous by the day? How do you come together as a nation in thanksgiving when the powers-that-be continue to polarize and divide us into warring factions?

It's not going to happen overnight. Or with one turkey dinner. Or with one day of thanksgiving.

Thinking good thoughts, being grateful, counting your blessings and adopting a glass-half-full mindset are fine and good, but don't stop there.

This world requires doers, men and women (and children) who will put those good thoughts into action.
