Frederick Keonig reminds us that true happiness stems from recognizing what we already possess rather than yearning for more. This insight encourages us to appreciate our lives and promotes charitable actions towards those in need. In contrast, Rod Serling's words highlight the destructive nature of prejudice and biased thoughts, which can harm society and future generations. Understanding these sentiments can lead to meaningful discussions on happiness, giving, and overcoming societal prejudices. Let's explore how appreciation and combatting prejudice can shape a better world.

WOW 2-7 • READ: Rod Serling wrote, “There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices—to be found only in the minds of men.
