The Straightforward Thanksgiving
阿桑是一名在美国southwest地区学习的part-time记者，但他的家人住在northwest的一个小镇。每年他都会回家过thanksgiving，但今年有所不同——他的父亲曾是一位high-profile政治人物，在一次assassination未遂后离开了政坛。
家庭中长期积存着怨恨和误解。阿桑一向很straightforward，这常常会伤害到别人。他觉得这次的thanksgiving可能是修补这些破裂关系的机会。
在餐桌上，大家都沉默着。突然，阿桑说：“我们都犯过错。我virtually知道这种沉默是unacceptable。”他母亲微笑着说：“你还是那个敢于说真话的old-fashioned男孩。”
他的父亲静静地说：“我生命的三分之二（two-thirds）用来争权，而剩下的one-third用在沉默上。现在我只想要平静。”
阿桑眼中涌出了泪水。“爸爸，”他说，“也许你离开了政界，但我们仍然要夺回我们的家庭。”大家一起笑了——这感觉像是一种爱的activation。
那天晚上，阿桑写了一篇题为《The Twentieth Dinner of Peace.》的文章。它走红了，因为非常thought-provoking。许多读者评论道：“我们被privatization和政治消耗，以至于我们的家庭纽带正在遭受incarceration。”
几周后，他受邀参加一档讨论家庭与社会价值的forthcoming电视节目。在那里，阿桑说：“爱不是一个large-scale项目——它在小小的对话中建立。如果我们simultaneously去培育它，任何关系都不会破裂。”
那个thanksgiving与众不同——因为它标志着一个新的开始，充满了彼此之间的宽恕与理解。
