Live for Today Everyone
Sep. 11th, 2006 03:45 pmI know most of you might be a little tired of seeing this clog up your friends list already, with everyone talking about 9/11 and how we should be silent, be respectful, pray for the souls of the dead, and for the souls of the living.
I'm not asking you to be silent. I'm not asking for prayers. What I'd like is to hear you. What I want is to know that that solidarity that we as Americans felt is not forgotten. As it said in the French newspaper Le Monde right after the attacks, "We are all Americans".
Is that still true? I realize that most of my friends over the internet are not, in fact, living in the same country as I am. Did it affect you the same way that it did us? Did you change because of what happened? Has it made you more aware, has it made you more noticeable of those around you?
You don't have to do this. I'm asking you too, but if it's too personal, or if it hurts too much, you don't have to.
What I'm asking is if you would tell me where you were that day. It can be one word, it can be a story. It can be anonymous or not. I want to hear everyone though, those who live in the US, and those who don't.
( I'll start off )
Remember, you don't have to do this. I'd like you to, but I understand if you can't or won't. I will not hold it against you.
Peace be with you. Shalom.
