I'll be honest with you. I was only six years old at the time. I have little memory of that day. Or for that whole year as a matter of fact.
From what I remember I was just playing in the back yard with my sisters in our homemade puppet theater. I remember going inside the house to get a drink. I saw my mother and father standing in front of the TV crying or just being shocked. I had no idea what was going on. I tried asking what was going on but my parents just made me go back outside. Later in life learned that my mom had a family member that worked in those buildings. A cousin was lucky enough to be late that day. This day is also my father's birthday, today he turns Sixty.
I find it shocking that anyone thought that they were doing a good deed for their god. For the loss of life that the world suffered. One act that shook mankind and woke us up from the shroud of peace that our leaders placed over our eyes. It should have been different. It should have never happened that way. The deaths at both locations. The Twin Towers, The Pentagon. Both locations were chosen to try and break america, along with some other locations that we haven't heard of yet.
But instead of breaking apart anything it rallied the world. Everyone. Every human being that can feel, they lost something that day. Some lost family, some lost hope, some lost the will to believe.
Now we face a different problem. Some want us to move on and forget 9/11. We will never forget. No one in this world will ever truly forget that day. But we can use it as motivation to be stronger, do better. We all need to do better as human. This world has turned cold and uncaring. If we just tried. If we just tried to do every day what NY did in the following weeks of that day. Be polite, working together instead of against, care for one another, just generally not being an ass-hat. This world would be brighter.
I don't know. Maybe i'm a dreamer for thinking this way. Maybe I believe in something that could never exist. But i'm gonna believe it, because someone needs to.
I hope everyone has a bright day,
Dovah Vahlok.
