I still remember that day like it was yesterday. I was working for Visiting Nurse Association of Southeastern Michigan, I was 6 months into my first IT job. I remember all the emotions that ran through me that day. Fear, Anger, Pride in my country, worry, among others.
I will never forget that day.
I do feel sad as of now. Just think 12 years ago, this attack brought our country closer and now today, the country is splintering. A war with Syria is being flirted with, people are opposed to gay marriage and there's those that want to make it illegal to handle guns. We as a country are at each other over some really stupid things in my opinion. Let's worry less about taking away others rights. My opinion isn't anymore right than the next person. I mean is gays getting married really going to ruin the sanctity of marriage? I mean there's a 50% divorce rate (I am one of the 50%). We have celebrities who are married for mere days before they get divorced or annulled. You have people that cheat, so having two men or women saying vows isn't really going to hurt much.
Then these people that are in an uproar over guns. I mean do you think taking away some one's gun is going to make America safer? It's not, criminals aren't going to say oh I'm not using a gun to commit a crime. I mean stop trying to push your beliefs on others and life your life.
We're going to stop there, because this post wasn't about pointing fingers or getting on a soapbox. It was about remembering 9/11. A time where our country was united for a time. Wouldn't it be nice if we could put of differences aside and realize that our opinions are just that our opinions and pushing our opinion on others is wrong.
