"I am thankful for...
- Cognition: which sets Man apart from the (lower) animals and enables us to reflect upon life
- Pluralism: because diversity makes life interesting
- Rationality: as it lets us adjudicate between competing truth claims
- Liberalism: because a spirit of tolerance permits freedom
- Liberty: which gives us the freedom to do what we want to do"
NB: Liberalism refers to attitudes, whereas Liberty refers to active restraints.
For example a formalised dress code would be a lack of Liberty, whereas other people mocking your outfit would be a lack of Liberalism.
