Reflections of 9/11

The tragedy of the twin towers affected so many people in our nation. All of us can vividly remember where we were at the moment the planes hit or the feelings and emotions we had as we watched in horror as the towers came tumbling down.

There are many ways we can look at any situation. While it seems unfair that so many had to die in such a horrific way. When we sit here in America and enjoy the blessings of the type of society it's easy to forget that there is suffering all over the world that we turn a blind eye too. The twin tower tragedy shone a light on the ugliness we still have in the world. Watching those planes crash in and the surreal images broadcast into our homes on every single channel brought us to a place where we can not bury our heads in the said and pretend we don't know how things globally affect us. I am often reminded about how many of the countries had knowledge of what Hitler was doing with Jews but it wasn't a major concern because it was them not us.

We all have a global responsibility to see to it that the basic human rights of all people are respected until this is a reality no one is truly free.

There is no us and them the planet is not as large as it seems and what happens will eventually affect us all. Life is a never ending circle and the ripple effect will touch everyone.

TODAY YOU SHOULD VOW TO BE A PART OF CHANGE IN THE WORLD START WITH YOURSELF AND YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE
