By now most everyone’s heard about The Secret, the phenomenon whereby basically some folks believe you can get what you want by simply asking the cosmos for it. (Doesn’t seem to work; we’ve yet to get the winning Lotto numbers.) Now a clever entrepreneur has come up with a way to assuage the guilt of those who feel greedy by asking for things; all they need do is buy “The Gratitude Kit.” The kit includes among other things: “24 Gratitude quotes from Buddha to Tony Robbins (Tony ROBBINS?!) to foster inspiration throughout the day; A Gratitude Journal with Pencil and a Gratitude Bookmark; A Gratitude Wrist Band (aka “Rubberband”), to remind you to give daily gratitude; and A Gratitude Rock—Made with love from the Pacific Northwest to display on your desk.” (Hoo-boy.) And we just thought of something we’re grateful for; The fact that we don’t have to buy stuff like this to be thankful for what we have. You unsure heathens can find out for yourself by going to The Gratitude Kit.com.
Although I think this is a little harsh, I couldn't help but chuckle when I read it!
