Rembering 9 11 01

We got called in from recess in grade 3 and I didn't really understand what was going on until I got home because my mom had CNN on tv and I realized how terrible this was.

I mourn people I know that have passed. I remember people like the ones in those buildings and on the planes. I mourn my great uncle Hank, who passed away at his home after a cancer battle on, you guessed it, September 11, 2001. I remember the innocent people who died in the attacks.

i don't mean to be a smart ass, though i'm sure i'll come off as one. technically, no one is really innocent if they're religious, considering almost EVERYTHING is a sin.

Everybody is also forgiven (assuming we ask for that forgiveness), so in no uncertain terms we are still "innocent".

Also, mourning isn't an emotion, it's an action of passionate sadness and empathy.

Sadness and empathy being the abstract thaught.

I can understand empathy,
But sadness serves no purpose.

But sadness serves no purpose.

sadness is the purpose.

sadness is the purpose.

The emotion itself has no purpose.
No need to get all philosphical

I was in college going to class at OU and there was a huge group of students gathered around one of the large TVs in one of the food court areas.

The emotion itself has no purpose.

Without sadness everybody would be a self-righteous *******, because without sadness you can't have remorse, so without sadness you can have no empathy.

thing i wont ever forget is the people jumping out of the towers. the sense of desperation that must have been going on in their mind is something i cant fathom.

at the time i was 20 so i was pretty well aware of what was going on. here in the chi, the sears tower was eventually evacuated as speculation ran rampant about it being a possible target as well. crazy freakin day.

You, my friend,
Are thinking of guilt.

And empathy is it's own emotion.. Pity, compassion, sympathy.
Whatever you want to call it.
