Business to Business Thanks

Thankful Ever since 1863, people in the U.S. have celebrated Thanksgiving by replicating the vision of the pilgrims and the Indians sitting down together for a celebratory meal. As beautiful as this image of friendship may well be, it is not reality. The account of pilgrims and Indians was one of unreciprocated amity. while the Indians presented the pilgrims with food and education to make do their first winter the pilgrims thanked them by antagonizing and laying siege to them. Even though this is not what we wish to think about as we get together to dine with our friends and family, perhaps it creates a new aspect to the holiday. The pilgrims were self-advancing and immoral. They took from the Indians and gave back in the most severe ways possible. Perhaps instead of imitating the dreamy image of the pilgrims and Indians as pals each Thanksgiving, we should reflect on the betrayal the Indians met at the hands of their "friends" the pilgrims. Now I don't mean to imply that Thanksgiving should be a serious day of reproach and tribute, but perhaps we should take the opportunity to reflect on our own relationships. Of all the things we offer thanks for on Thanksgiving, the individuals we love should be at the very top. Thanksgiving is not only a chance for us to share our countless blessings with the ones we love, but to express our gratitude for their loyal friendship. This Thanksgiving you might think about offering a little something extra to convey your appreciation.
