September 11, 2011 is a day that Americans will never forget. Do you remember where you were and what you were doing when the planes hit the twin towers? I do. I also remember having brunch at Windows on the World restaurant for my 16th birthday. My family and I drove into NYC, we were living in New Jersey at the time, to celebrate my birthday. I remember the view from the restaurant, and I also remember how you could feel the tower swaying. Needless to say it was a very disconcerting feeling.
What I struggle to understand is how we seem to come together as Americans only after tragedy strikes. There seems to be so much hate, and anger in Americans lately. Anger at the government, hate towards other Americans of a different color, police officers and even outright murder because of that hate. How did it all get so ugly?
We have to learn how to love each other again. Haven't we seen that a war on anything doesn't work. The war on drugs, the war on poverty have all failed miserably. Why can't we try a love of abundance, and a love of a drug free world and drug free families.
Isn't it time to try something different? Remember the famous quote by Albert Einstein who said, " Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
Let's strive for love! A love of everyone, and everything and let's stand in awe and wonder to see how this world changes.
