I agree, and I offer in exchange of the view of the individual sacrifices and memories a more global view of the aftermath.<br /><br />On 9/11/2001, some extremists tried very hard to make people of the world afraid, and angry at each other. They tried very hard to set Christian against Muslim, and to a degree, had some success. On July 22 of this year, an extremist from the other camp bombed a youth gathering, and executed young adults in a horrific incident in Utoya, Norway. To the largest degree, however, they have failed. I know they have failed by the reactions of the people involved, people who were, themselves, shot at. <br /><br />“If one man can create that much hate, you can only imagine how much love we as a togetherness can create.”<br /><br />It is our job now to honor our fallen, their fallen, all of our fellow humans by refusing to be afraid. We shall refuse to cower and flinch away from each other, and join together as one, to heal, and grow, and learn. There is and always will be prejudice in the world, that has not changed. It will take a lot of growing up for our entire species, but I hope that one day we will achieve a truly fair and balanced perception of all people, all races, codes, and creeds.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11440389774682733370noreply@blogger.com
