Instead I say, be the thankful,

^^ I think it should be "Be thankful," since Thankful is an adjective so it should be describing how you want this someone to be. The is an article and it usually goes along with a noun. Though, I actually think is just a typo.

-- You have the idea going on this piece though, it needs more work on it to create a powerful effect on the reader. However, I agree. One should be thankful for having freedom. We are free to love, to breath and specially one should be thankful to have something to eat.

A little chaos is needed to create balance just as friend of mine says but too much is not needed. So yeah, the bad moments are also what make us who we are and thus one should appreciate both good and bad...

And yet this still does not have a rating is it that bad? :P

It's not bad, I just forgot to rate it.
