ah yes, the aftermath. There is always that isn't it. A controversial subject, people taking sides, people pointing fingers and so on.
9-11 stirs up those emotions. That day put a lingering fear in the minds of many people. The days soon after, the poor people in New York thought that if anything bad or destructive happened somewhere in the city, it was another attack.
Time provides a healing process. We all face death of loved ones and time and tears allows one to cope and move on. The rehash of 9-11 on all the TV stations is I think detrimental towards the national coping process.
All people want safety and security in their lives. It offers comfort to us. We all deserve it. But we can never take it for granted.
I will explore some thoughts I have in the next few posts.
Slings and arrows. I am ready.
It will be a bumpy ride.
It will be a lonely ride.
I am ready.
Time for a giant cup of coffee.

Years ago, in Tasmania, we had an incident where a lone gun man shot 34 people dead. Injured loads of others. After the event there was lots and lots and lots of counselling for anyone who was affected by it.
After a while a lot of them opted out of counselling because it prevented them from getting on with life. Everytime they went in for a session it just brought it all back.
Sometimes it is best to respectfully let things just "be".
So, yeah, I see what you are saying.
Years ago, when I was very little, Pearl Harbor was the thing, then later it was about Kennedy. I equate broadcast remembrances with commercialism and selling product. My cynical old age.
