the count your blessings fallacy
“A fallacy is reasoning that is logically incorrect, undermines the logical validity of an argument, or is recognized as unsound. All forms of human communication can contain fallacies.”
so why do i believe this statement is logically incorrect?
because there’s too many blessings around us to be able to be counted. it is innumerable. there are not enough numbers created to be able to count. let’s start now. let’s start counting
- mom
- dad
- sister
- brother
- friends
- now have to list each friend — — — —
- this ability to live
- now have to live each body part we have that is systematically working for us — — — — — -
- the ability to breathe
- the space around us that keeps us breathing
- the co-existing communities that help us live
- the food that we eat
- the farmers that grow them
- the soil that grew there before
- the earth that made that soil
- the particles that make up the earth
- the galaxy that allowed for these paricles
- the universe
this is a short snippet but being grateful is so easy… there’s so much to be grateful for.. nothing to do with ego or status. the ability to be grateful meaning the ability to being grateful to wake up another day in this beautiful world to be alive and just breathe….
i thank god every day for this ability
