I didn’t feel like writing yesterday, mainly because I had a very frustrating day at work but also because I was thinking not only about the September 11 attacks and the 3,000 who died but all the other tragedies like children dying of starvation in Africa or the thousands of people killed in Eastern Europe. I wondered what it would be like if we had a silence for all of the atrocities. Would it take days, weeks or even months of silence to remember all the dead?
I’m not degrading what happened in America, in fact I still tear up when they play the seemingly endless footage from every different angle of the planes crashing into the towers. I just think we need to look at the bigger picture – at putting an end to senseless wars, trying to prevent babies and children dying from lack of food when we have so much and protecting our planet from corporate raiders who are just out to take take take….
