Before I start on tonight’s blog, I want to state the following: 1) I am a native New Yorker and lived there from ages 0 - 22, 2) I had family in New York City on September 11 ,2001, and 3) I knew people who died in the Towers.
Now everyone probably heard about the plane that crashed into the condo today in New York City (CNN Article). I was at lunch with a room full of people and a TV going when the news broke. No one flinched, since, stuff happens.
I returned to my class and someone decided she HAD to tell everyone about it. Then she stated she had to leave early to pick up her kids and that she had family back there. Again, no one flinched since, stuff happens.
Is this what we are reduced to? Those who are now afraid of their own shadow and those who accept life as it happens and are looked upon as cold and callous as a result?
As the blog pic shows, there is always going to be those black and white situations where it all comes down to a matter of perspective for people to take it all out of context.
Is this what keeping us safe is all about?
