As we approach the tenth anniversary of September 11 the most of us need no reminder. We have not forgotten and never will. It was a time that remains forever in memories and history. As I write this, I wonder just how history books have documented that day and what is being taught the children in the schools. But does that really matter? Of course it does matter but if the truth hasn’t come out by now it probably never will.
Osama Bin Laden is long gone, believed to be the perpetrator of 9/11. Has justice been served? I doubt it. The pain still remains because of the love we have for those lost on that day. So it really doesn’t matter how it happened or even why. It just did. I have my own personal beliefs as to what probably happened and why on that day but even my own thoughts have no real relevance.
What really matters is that we live on in a way that will honor those lost so that their lives can never be for nothing. The innocence, the bravery, the fear of knowing, the unity in chaos that we all experienced on that day; these emotions can only foster good if we allow them to. We have the freedom to believe anything or idea that has evolved as a result of 9/11 and that is what really matters to me. I can only hope anyone person who had or persons who have the power to cause such an event to take place will one day think about their deeds on their death beds and realized how fucked up their lives have been. But then, will it really matter?
