Are we done yet?

As much as I prefer the normality of life, I do think that it is important to remember the past. It is when we forget the past that we end up repeating it. My kids and I sat down last night and were flipping through the channels when we came to a show about 9/11. I was getting ready to pass the channel when they asked met o pelase leave it there. It really was heartbreaking to see it from the points of view that those camera-people did. I think that as a country, it is important to remember that day and all that happened, but, not to dwell on it. Yes, remember the past, yes, remember the lost lives, yes, remember it all, but yet, go on living life as normal. Let's face it, that day changed many things for our country, things that will never be the same, just as other wars have. We need to remember and learn from all of it while we live, laugh, and love today.

Chinese version of star spangles flying on white house, that will be really funny. lol!! How about start printing the portrait of Chairman Mao in USA new 20 dollars currency note ? The Obama bashing will not over any time soon!! Just sit tight and laugh.

It surely doesn't do to dwell on the past, especially such a sad and grievous past. I mean, yes, of course, we should learn from the past and the mistakes that we made, but that shouldn't mean overdoing the grief and undermining the actions which are necessary to be taken. Let's face it: terrorism is never going to be wiped out from this planet. As long as there are short-sighted people who feel that their religious sentiments are far more important than the lives of innocent people, and as long as there are countries who train these persons in order to infiltrate other countries and weaken them, this world will never have peace. But we shall have to try to live normally in our lives, and grim incidents always make us sad. And humans generally don't want to bring sadness into their lives, unless it barges in. So we should spare some thoughts for those families also for whom the sadness barged in like a plague when this gruesome incident of 9/11 occurred. Their wounds are still raw and can never be fully healed. I feel that each year, by remembering the horrific nightmare, and with each TV channel flashing those same videos of the giant towers being razed to the ground, we are actually tearing up their wounds more, so that they remain fresh year after year. Cheers.
