9-11 Redux
I went to the Newseum with my girlfriend this past Saturday to see the museum itself, but especially the 9-11 exhibits. Everything was well done and edifying. I felt that it was something important for my own understanding of what happened that day, and how it affected my life.
I found myself reliving some of the same emotions that I felt that day. And the weather this past Saturday was identical to weather on 9-11-2001. No wind or humidity. No clouds. A Chamber of Commerce picture perfect day.That in itself was quite surreal and prescient. I felt that I was at the right place at the right time. It was cathartic for me to relive the bad and the good. Yes, there was good that day as well.
It is hard to grasp that someone's thinking could lead them to even think about murdering innocent people, let alone actually doing it. The evil that day was inescapable. It was not just the deaths, but the manner in which so many died. The perpetrators are without excuse and we can all only hope that there will be true justice for them someday. But there evil deed was not the end of the story.
