The hard truth is that most of us (genuinely, without any sarcasm allowed) have much to be thankful for. I spend a lot of time around people who are just me-me-me in their demands of the world--pure ungrateful selfishness--and the worst is that they have no idea how good they have it. No perspective on the world or on history or on the sacrifices or troubles of others. I read that sort of attitude very clearly in your comment (viz, we're "supposed to be thankful", as if thankfulness was some sort of unpleasant duty), and it rubbed me wrong. ...however, I'll just take it on credit that my interpretation was incorrect. The end.
