"The Maasai, a community that holds cattle sacred, is broadly unfamiliar to residents of Manhattan. And cows may not mean a lot to many ordinary Americans. But it is the ultimate gift one can get from this community. "
With the society that we live in today, I feel that we as Americans do not appreciate the life we have here and the things given to us. When comparing to other countries, we are lucky to live in a country that has many opportunities to help us make it in this world. When the Maasai community gave us cows, most of us may find it to be ludicrous since we see cows as a provider for milk and meat, but we need to look at it in a different perspective. To the Maasai community it means so much more than just an animal you eat. We should be appreciative and thankful for receiving the gift from Kenya, at least we know we have their support. No one is making Kenya sympathize or hand us gifts, they are doing it because they want to show the Americans that they care and are sorry for our losses. I just feel our society is unappreciative and it’s all about money, looks, and luxurious things. It’s sad to say that our country is kind of "F up."
