Sept 11

On the anniversary of Sept 11th I become the person I was in 2001. I feel the same. I think about the same things. I pour over the same images and news reports as i did for 3 or 4 days back in 2001. I don't really know how i can explain the feeling. 

I go on the internet and see people getting all riled up on each 9/11 anniversary and i feel like now one has learned anything. They are still blogging and e-arguing about the same things. Its sad. I wonder if we will ever really come to terms with what kind of world we were thrown into on 9/11/01. That world, I think its too scary, too real, too uncertain. That's why there is all this mumbo-jumbo about conspiracies - not everyone can understand....  truly know, that life has the ability to be utterly random. To understand the our lives are completely out of our control. Our lives are as fragile and vulnerable just as any other organism on earth. So people fabricate these reasons why meaningless tradgedies occur in the hopes of finding comfort. 

I think if we really understand that our lives are basically up to chance, we'll have more fun, argue less, be more charitable and really connect with the people close to us. 

Next year on sept 11th, maybe i'll take the day off and see where the day takes me.
