Be thankful that you have clothes to wear, food to eat and a place to sleep.

About This Quote

Be thankful that you have clothes to wear, food to eat and a place to sleep. In the last century, clothing was not a necessity. In fact, people ate many times a day and slept in a bed with clean sheets every night. They did not have to worry about food for themselves or their loved ones.

Clothing was thought of as a symbol of status that made you seem more important than others. While people in the past had no problem going without, today we cannot imagine living without all three of these basic necessities. Therefore, they should be thankful for them and do everything within their power to make sure they are never without them.
