As we approach the anniversary of 9/11 I have had moments of serious introspection. I cannot believe it has been ten years. I remember that tragic morning as though it were yesterday.
I remember where I stood as I witnessed the callused calculated acts of hate and misunderstanding. I wept for those poor souls lost that morning. I wept for the brave men and women who stood up against an insurmountable foe and gave their lives that others might live.
It is that bit of humanity that unites us all and gives me hope. Hope that we might live our entire lives the way those few people lived theirs for a few moments. To think of others before ourselves.
“We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each others happiness. Not each others misery…But we have lost our way.”
