I was having coffee with a couple of members this morning at Buon Giournos Coffee Shop. Many interesting persons pass through those doors for good coffee, tea, conversation, atmosphere. One man coming through engaged us in conversation, and before I knew it he was telling us how the current nuclear strategy of the Iranians is no longer missiles but nuclear suicide bombers with lead-coated backpacks to conceal enriched uranium from detection. This way, instead of blowing up and killing a handful of people a bomber might, theoretically, blow up thousands of people and do far more damage than with a conventional bomb. What a nice happy thought.
But it got me to wondering who was truly more powerful in this world: a person with a nuclear bomb strapped to his or her back, or a person with a heart that is full of gratitude? I would argue that it is the latter--that a heart that is full of gratitude is a very powerful force indeed--more powerful than an arsenal of nuclear weapons. A truly grateful people is a truly powerful people. Amen, and Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. RS
