And Isn't It Ironic... Don't You Think
Thanksgiving, as the name implies, should be a day of giving thanks. However, it has turned into a monument of greed. After we thank the Lord for all we have, we go out and spend all our money the very next day. We trample, fight, and scream just to buy the newest and latest gadgets for the lowest price. Blatantly, the irony of the situations stares us in the face.
I cannot condemn those who spend all day shopping on Black Friday, for it reflects our nature. We live in a greedy society. Amidst the shouting and the inevitable trampling of someone at Wal-Mart, we see ourselves as we truly are--greedy. Rarely is anyone sincerely thankful, for we are incapable of a pure spirit of gratitude. Being thankful is against our human nature and our society. As a result, Black Friday has become a holiday equally respectable as Thanksgiving.
