I am sick to the depth of my soul from all the hatred and anger of people ... I'm tired of the suspicions and the jaded people who have nothing better to do than belittle the acts of others - who spend their time judging what makes another person do what they do and deciding what that person should have done instead if they were truly caring and loving. I don't understand how people can rise up in "righteous" anger and vow to wipe terrorism from the face of the earth and then turn around and rip apart kind acts of other ... I don't get it. What? Are they envious because they think somehow they were denied the opportunity for wealth? Well ... who denied them wealth? Who kept them down, who took away their ability to go out and achieve what ever they wanted to achieve? Does it make them feel better, feel more "holy", more "Christian" to put people below themselves? It is probably one of the most unChristian acts I can think of ... in fact, there is nothing terribly "Christian" about condemning other people based on ... anything!
I haven't been able to write at all about that day, that Sept. 11th day and I realize part of it is because I am sick at the thought of those lives sacrificed for nothing - sacrificed so we can pick right back up with our pettiness, our judgments, our righteous indignation that our neighbor isn't forced to "suffer" all that "we" might have been forced to suffer ... it just makes me sick.
