An excerpt from my old Livejournal

Some of what I wrote 10 years ago at this very moment:

September 11, 2001, 16:30

It is always easier to respond with anger or pretend we don’t care, when something we feel powerless about happens. Powerlessness is a very scaring feeling. Victims always have to fight with this…when you’re raped, a love one killed senselessly, or like today when the Earth stands still. And it has. Let’s try not to all fight over our own reaction or grief, but instead admit that we are all a bit fucked up now, and that we will never be the same…and then rebuild and heal.

No matter what happens after this, no matter how much “justice” is dished out, none of us will ever look at the world the same way.

In that sense, we have already lost.

And as Forrest Gump said “That’s all I have to say about that.”
