The act is unjustifiable that either begs for a blessing, or, having succeeded gives no thanksgiving.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Doing what's right is no guarantee against misfortune.
If what you have done is unjust, you have not succeeded.
It seems to me that an unjust law is no law at all.
Thanksgiving is a time when the world gets to see just how blessed and how workable the Christian system is. The emphasis is not on giving or buying, but on being thankful and expressing that appreciation to God and to one another.
There are minds so impatient of inferiority that their gratitude is a species of revenge, and they return benefits, not because recompense is a pleasure, but because obligation is a pain.
People don't ever seem to realize that doing what's right is no guarantee against misfortune.
In everyday things the law of sacrifice takes the form of positive duty.
Thanksgiving is a time of togetherness and gratitude.
Christians were instructed to serve others, and the thanksgiving was for the grace of God and the fact that God offered a way for man to return to a positive relationship with Him.
Effective action is always unjust.
