Millions and millions of people watched as misguided religious zealots few planes into buildings eleven years ago today. We all lost something that day, whether we were friend or enemy, in or outside of the United States. Tragedies like this, caused by malevolent hatred, have wracked the world since humans began throwing rocks at each other in caves. You’d think we were better than this.
The legacy of 9/11 lives on. Memories linger. And, old feelings get stirred up by the thoughts of who and what we lost. We still have political and religious zealots stirring enmity in the name of their deities. We still have people who hate for reasons only they know. Are we really better than the cave men throwing rocks? Think about it. Remember what was done. If you live in a country where politicians whip up hatred of others to get your vote, then don’t vote for them. We don’t need that kind of unreasonable thinking.
The 9/11 violence is emblematic of unreasoning hate.
