Let's think

Ten years.  Seems like such a long time.  Is it?  Depends how you think of it.  Tens years is a long time if you’re thinking you were in second grade… but is it really a long time when you think about the attacks we suffered?  Maybe now tens years isn’t such a long time…   Well the point isn’t this, the point is:  just because ten years is such a long time sometimes, that doesn’t mean we should forget things.  Let’s not forget what we went through and what people did ten years ago.
And yes I’m using WE… and yes I’m not American… SO WHAT?  Many people think that the 9/11 attacks only influenced America.  They were the only ones impacted by this. Blah blah blah..  FALSE.  How about we try to look this way:  A city is a part of a state, which is a part of country, which is a part of the WORLD.  If one thing happens to any small part of the whole, the whole is affected yeah?  SO maybe this didn’t just impact the US, but perhaps the whole entire world…
I’m not here to tell people what’s wrong and what’s right, what’s dark and what’s bright.  I’m here to send a message:
Ten years ago, terrorists, attacked the USA with four planes.  Two hit the towers, one went to the pentagon, and another one didn’t hit anything “important” thanks to the brave people inside.. Yeah we all know this, but what I want people to do is.. take a minute or two, and think of those who lost their lives ten years ago.  America and the world was greatly impacted that day.  Never before anyone thought a thing like that would happen.  WHAT? NO WAY MAN.  But it happened, and we gotta get over the fact.  The worst thing we can do now is blame.  Don’t you point your fingers at people.  Do not blame.  That is dirty.  It’s ridiculous to be honest.  How about instead of blaming, we take some time and come together as a PLANET?  Stop this hate.  Just for one minute, one little minute, put all our differences aside, all our issues away, and come together as one.  One planet.  This is what we need to get over this ONE problem.  People from different countries die everyday, suffer everyday… We aren’t the only ones.  Let’s have some sympathy for those who weren’t Americans and also lost their lives during the attack.  Just this one time, let’s put our pride away, let’s not be so patriotic, and also remember those who lost their lives there.  Those who lose their lives everyday.  We gotta stop thinking we’re the only ones in the world.  Because we aren’t.  And the second we put that in our minds, I’m telling you, this world will already be a better place.  Imagine us, together, praying for those who lost their lives ten years ago in a horrible attack.  Wouldn’t it be nice?  Wouldn’t you enjoy the positive feelings towards each other?
Let’s start by thinking what exactly happened that day.  Thousands of people went to work, some had to go in a plane, others just went to a meeting, and others just went to their normal jobs.  Seems great.  The sky is blue and the sun is bright.  Just that many of those who went to work, never came back.  Yeah they were killed by terrorists. And here we are ten years after.  Let’s remember them.  Let’s embrace with others.  Let’s make this moment better.  Let’s pray for them.  Pray for their souls.  Because I’m sure they’ll hear it.  They’ll be happy.  They’ll be satisfied.  Let’s unite.  Let’s become one.  There is so much we can do to make sure nothing happens like this again.  I cannot speak for those who lost their loved ones, but I can say that no one deserves to go through it again, or even for a first time.  We are one nation.  One Planet.  We are one. 
Is ten years really a long time?
