#Harvest

Harvest Thanksgiving is a pretext to praise crops that survived drought and pests, while celebrating one’s own feast table. Farmers forget the smell of sweat and soil as they indulge in inherited rituals and lavish banquets. Yet behind the pageantry lies a structural contradiction of postponing fair compensation to laborers while throwing extravagant feasts. Words of blessing become tools for staging social ceremonies rather than expressing genuine reverence for nature. In the end, leftovers are squandered alongside earth’s bounty, quietly passing the baton of famine to the next year.
