Well another 9/11 anniversary is upon us. I can still remember being at work and listening to the radio being played over the loud speaker for everyone to get the up to the minute details. I’m feeling a few emotions today. I’m also wondering what happened to the people of the United States since that day. How during the weeks that followed we were one for the first time in a very long time. How for a short while we were all proud to be americans again. What happened to that pride? I guess pride has it’s own bandwagon. Did we learn anything from that tragedy? I think most of us did, at least for a short time. Now everyone is back to worrying about their own problems with i guess is natural. Today also reminds me that life is way to short for drama. Over the past few days I found myself once again drawn into a situation that I played no part in. It’s been weighing on my mind for a couple of days. But i’ve decided no more. Life is just too short to worry about what others think and do. Instead I will concentrate on the people and things that truly matter. I just don’t understand some people and I guess I probably never will. I always look for the best in people and way too often put trust and faith in people that either don’t deserve it or abuse it. It’s a fault in myself that I am aware of but do not want to change. I want to believe in people. I want to think they will do the right things. It’s the same way with my world view. I can not understand people that want to kill each other over nothing but ideals and viewpoints. Aren’t there any rational people left in charge? I hope people, especially those in the U.S., remember what happened on 9/11 and why. Remember what you felt in the days following the world trade center tragedy. Remember the day when ordinary people became heroes.
