Even during the crashes, We were all watching it happen somewhere on TV or heard about it at least. It brought families, friends, neighbors, and all kinds of people together. I remember being in my 8th grade science class for watching the TV when this happened. I remember my dad, the superintendent, coming in the classroom and telling my science teacher about the first plane hitting. That is when my teacher turned on the TV for us to watch. Then I think it was later that day or maybe not too long after I heard about the Pentagon being hit and that is when I started to worry about my brother because he was living close to DC at the time.
Just to let you all know I am I'm crying big time right now as I write this. That memory still gets me to this day. And it is worse this year because of how us Americans have acted out of hate and greed and differences. How can we forget the feelings of 9/12? The feelings of everyone just wanting to be at home, just people wanting to see people they haven't seen in forever, and so on. I'm going to say something that I might get hated for but to me it's how I see it. I'm not trying to dislike on anyone but this is how I see everything that's going on right now in today's world.
We were United those 19 years ago. Now it is clear that we are not and that just breaks my heart. Here we are fighting against what some people will say a silent killer from maybe someone else or who knows. I'm not going into from where but it is a silent killer and as I see America right now it is torn upon and not helping neighbors, friends, families, and so on. This America today 19 years after 9/11 is watching out for themselves. We are fighting against each other. Thinking one is better than any other. Having all these rules. Staying home. Staying our distance. No more hugging. No more hospitality. No more unity. It just kills me that I am living in a world that is like that now.
We passed, as a nation, 9/11 not talking to people, staying distance, wearing masks, not wanting to go to restaurants, not wanting to hang out, and not wanting to go to church but watch it on TV, because we are all a scared bunch of people that thinks about ourselves and not others. Yes, I know I'm going to get probably some dislikes and mean comments.
"But if you really think about it 19 years ago something loud and devastating got our attention but yet here we are with a silent killer and all we can think about is me me me."
Shouldn't we be acting the same way today as we did 19 years ago? Shouldn't we be banding together as America instead of killing, fighting, and so on? Shouldn't we be checking on our neighbors? Shouldn't be calling on family members to see if they are okay and checking up on them? I'm not saying that I have done a very good job on all of that but at least I'm trying.
And I'm sorry this is probably the strongest entry that I have ever wrote but it is true to me at least. And it is true all the way around no matter what political side you are on. I know people of all culture and background so coming from me it is not one-sided at all. Look at it and think about it and then you will understand.
