We all shit.
Well tomorrow is the 5th year anniversary. It cracks me up, as everyone gets all patriotic and gives memories to those who died...in whose honor?
As the five years have passed, it seems to me, our men out there dying are dying the same way those in the twin towers died. At work. However, the boss is our very own. Yet, i cannot sit here on my couch and doubt those soilders out there. They are simply doing what we are, going to work.
My point was not to criticize with what is going on currently. In fact, i am completely ingnorent as to what we are doing, however, nor was my point to give memberance to those who lost their lives in 9/11. My point is how we as humans, need a disaster to cling to. Something we can all share in common. Something we can all say we remembered where we were when it happened. Its sad, frankly, its disgusting, how we all sit there, and speak of such a tragedy for attention. Everyone has a story of what they were doing when they heard it, and how much they were affected. When in reality, 9 11 played out like a movie. We all acted with movie script reactions, we all waited, visited ground zero, came together, and put american flags on our cars...hoping that maybe our wrong would be done right.
When in reality, we should've been proud of our country before that day. We should have realized that once you hit top, you must eventually go down, and one day, we would. Then, we all clamoured together, and then split...but now in separate groups. No more of the same hate...but different hate for different people...and so we began again.
Now 9/11 is for t shirts, to remind us how we used to be before we split up. And its a shame we need to have the tshirt.
Five more years later, the tshirts will be in every thrift store around, and we will be waiting again for our next big tragedy.
Humans thrive on tragedies. We all thrive on having that one thing in common. We thrive on fake emotions, and fake movie script actions...to make us feel so real. Something we can speak on. Because no one brings up the fact we all take a shit.
