[November 24, 2016] The cornucopia of plenty is symbolic of abundance and nourishment; originating from classical antiquity and commonly associated with the Thanksgiving holiday in America. It may not seem like it after such the recent divisive political campaigns but the world has experienced the greatest level of peace and prosperity in the history of humankind.
There are many reasons for this peace and prosperity, none of which I will address here. People however believe the world is going in the wrong direction. They see war, natural disasters, “global warming,” a mass exodus from the Middle East, and so much that makes them think that the world is coming apart that it is no surprise at their views. The steady hammer of the world media that shows destruction everyday explains part of the reasons for that view.
But the Thanksgiving holiday should be a time that we give thanks for what we have and to recognize that the world is not as bad as we may think it is in any given moment. Today, best wishes to all my readers and family members of theLeaderMaker.com.
Special thanks to all the fans of this blog for making it successful.
