Because they brought me to this world.
This world is a very cruel place, full of injustice, prejudice, a place where the rich and powerful get richer from ripping off the middle class and poor folks who only get poorer, why should we be thankful to those who brought us to such place?!!!
We all know that our parents did not risk their lives or endure unbearable pain to conceive us, all they did is to indulge in the ultimate pleasure known to mankind to bring us to this far from perfect place called the world.
2.Because they raised me and took good care of me.
When a couple decide to have children, the least they should do is to provide for them, and take care of them, so when parents raise their offspring and look after them, they're ONLY doing their duty, NOT doing their children a favor.
As a child I was told to be grateful to my parents for the aforementioned reasons, however, as I grew up and learned about the birds and the bees and how tough this life is, I started to doubt these ideas, and eventually totally disagree with what I was taught.
So what do you think? Do you agree or disagree with me?
