Thanksgiving Thoughts


Giving Thanks For Rational Human Thought
____________________________________

We thank you rational human thought
For the benefits of your uncountable products
For the smiling babies your medicines have saved
For the relief of pain provided by your analgesics
For your efficacious treatment of disease
And for tripling life expectancy since the Dark Ages.

We thank you rational human thought
For feeding billions of our kind
For warning of storms, eruptions, and other calamities
For the shelters you have designed and built
For heating in winter and cooling in summer
And for transporting our species even to the moon.

We thank you rational human thought
For magnifying every sense bestowed upon us by nature
For unraveling the mysteries of the universe
For your appreciation of infinity within and without
For helping us express ourselves in love
And for your war against superstition.

We thank you rational human thought
And hope you will continually improve
Our ability to use your products wisely.
