in loving memory . . .
In memory of all victims of terrorist attacks; never forgotten. Always in spirit.

What is wrong with the world ?
Seriously, why do people kill their own ?
Their own, as in another human being. Why?
You're probably going to tell me that it's way complicated and most murderers have psychological problems. But that's not a clear answer. I'm asking why one nation would be against another ? Why violence ? I am naive enough to think that any problem can be solved with the use of words. Why kill others to state a point ?
I was 5 years old when the 9/11 attacks occurred. I was a child... I remember news reports and this commotion about it, but I never understood what it really meant. About 3000 people lost their lives that day. Innocent, hard working people killed because of one group's hatred to a nation. Those people were fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, girlfriends, boyfriends, children... they didn't do anything wrong. They came in to work... and tragically lost their lives because of it.
It sickens me to think that deranged enough people are out there, hoping and willing to hurt others. That day changed everything... prejudice hit an all time high, people were traumatized for life. You really have to have a strong strain of hatred in order to commit such a horrible and disgusting act. Don't bullshit me in saying God told you to execute it... you fucking monsters did. They stripped so many lives away. Why? Payback? Revenge? Nothing in the world can justify their act. Nothing.
I guess we didn't realize it yet, but terrorists have been on this Earth for so long. The most notable one, to me, is Adolph Hitler. Okay, so he wasn't a terrorist per se... he was worst. He manipulated a whole nation, destroyed another and became the most hated man in the world... and remains it to this day. He was a sick, deranged, gruesome dude. But he wasn't alone. All the soldiers who were with him, every Nazi out there... somebody could've stopped it. The population had the power to put a stop to it. But they didn't... they cowardly hid, not pronouncing a word. I realize their lives were in danger... but if everybody took that excuse, African Americans wouldn't have any rights and slavery would still be with us. Somebody could've spoken up... it would've saved millions of lives.
In memory of all the lives lost, I pray for every victim out there. Victims of gruesome acts and deplorable judgement. Some die saving their country, others while doing their jobs. It shouldn't be that way. If you have beef with a person, you're not going to kill all their friends and family. You talk it out with the person concerned. I'm not an American... but on September 11th 2001... it didn't matter.
A moment of silence for every soul lost... but never forgotten. You will always be remembered.
