Thankful

I have many things in my life to be thankful for. But there is one thing in particular.
When we are young, we are told that people should play fair. We are told that the good guys always win in the end. We are told that people get what they deserve, good or bad.
As we mature, we learn how unrealistic some of those things really were. The world is really made of shades of gray. Most of the time, the bad guys will screw over the good guys and that's just how it works.
So having said that, what could I possibly be thankful for? Right now, the thing I am most thankful for is that I am 27 years old... and I still don't believe any of those things.
