It is not only thanksgiving these film is talking about. It presents the way of Systemic Change thinking. The issue is not that few words can change reality. These words could change whole existence.
We can make donations… and feel comfort of supporting person in need. We can use our skill and mind… and “improve workshop” of the needy person.
We can give a fish, and we can give a fishing rod. The choice is ours, but the benefit is of those whom we serve.
The other aspect is, that he blind man does not even know what exactly for he is to be thankful
