Everyone knows what I mean. The fateful day when our lives of ease collapsed around us. We all knew that it would change us forever. But not in the way that we imagine. We are different people now. We are more connected to the country and the world. We are a bigger part of the big picture, we are more a part of the world.
But with all this involvement, we are growing apart as well. We have more seperate views on common issues. We have more and more difficulty coming together on issues. It's not about togetherness anymore, doing what the people need. It's about what they need to please a few people.
Even though we don't want to have another great tragedy, such as what occurred on
September 11, 2001, it did do one great thing for the country. It brought us together. We both had the same thoughts, and just wanted to help. It wasn't about self enhancement, it was about helping those in need. It was about being a nation again.
Wonderfully written, Ace.
