6 years later… Reflections on 9/11
I want you to take, especially with what is happening in the country today and around the world, the threats that we are faced with, take just a few seconds and recall how you felt on that day when you first saw pictures or when you first heard what had happened on 9/11. We usually don’t want to dwell on feelings. We like to deal in thoughts here.
But this is an exception. Because I think we’ve lost the feeling, and naturally so. These are not the kind of feelings you want to revisit. They’re not the kind of feelings you want to stew in. I think you should, though. I think you should take the time whenever you have time today, just think back to how you felt. I don’t care what the feeling was: shock, sorrow, disbelief, rage, anger, desire for immediate reciprocity.
Because I think the whole country needs to be yanked back into the memorial of how we all felt that day, how scared, how helpless, how stunned and how shocked and how sad and how mad everyone was as the event unfolded right before our eyes. This is one bad memory be that we need to keep as a bad memory and never forget it, if we are to deal with these people who perpetrated this act effectively in the future.
