For those who may not have anyone on Thanksgiving-Do you think the Day brings the satisfaction to individuals it is portrayed to bring?

Well, yes, that is true. There is Festivas.

Even so, there is also nothing wrong with the whole world putting aside a day for a special thought.

I have heard the contempt of many that think "Valentine Day" is bullshit because everyday should be special. But the observable truth is. . . . most people don't. If people cannot make a globally recognized day special, then chances are, they couldn't do it on their own.

Just bring flowers, or having a cookout, or inviting friends over for dinner, isn't the same.

I would love see someone up and decide, "I am going call all of my friends over and remember Adam and Eve being cast out of the Garden of Eden."

I've never been invited to a special ritual or ceremony that wasn't pre-established by the culture in which we live. And I have been to some very special rituals.

I would call that just plain old lack of imagination then, because, in reality, if the whole world stopped recogizing one day as special, would everyone lie down and die?






Something to think about I suppose

That post got messed up and merged with yours, my thought was that, if a day is not set aside by the entire world to be special, then, no one would think of it on their own, displays a lack of imagination, do you not think?

Well, considering I do not personally celebrate Thanksgiving, I do not have any expectations for that particular day, but many I talk to DO- and they end up more depressed than if they had not celebrated it in the first place, that was the reason for this thread, for those who face disallusionment and loneliness that is forced on them because everyone seems to have someone on special days, and it is simply not true, there are alot of people who have no one= look at the suicide rate during the Holidays, but on a lighter note, I agree with you, time spent with good friends is of greatest value and less stress, for as the Bible says{



"There exist companions disposed to break one another to pieces, but there exists a friend sticking closer than a brother.'- Proverbs 18:24

Not sure if I follow you. I suppose that there is no day that the entire world recognises.

A person can have special day. Perhaps it's a memory of a dead friend. Perhaps you won a victory. So you grab some beer and celibate. But even so, even personal celebrations are often done within the custom. But in this discussion personal celebrations don't count because is exactly a personal. It celibate a more global idea. There are many special days like thanksgiving around the world. But when a holiday involves other people there must be agreement on the time expectations. In fact, any planned celebration involving two or more must have some of per-established definition.
