A life less than ordinary … now

Why is everyone jumping to conclusions???? I know that our country is in a state of caution. But take a hard look at what is going on around you. Listen to what the news keeps telling us. Observe how your friends, family, and you are acting. Are you living your life the same way as you were before Sept.11 or is your decision making persuaded by the attacks? Do you decide to stay home because you don’t want to fly? Do you hover over the television set or the radio?

The United States might be wiping out what little things Afghanistan does have but that isn’t solving the problem. Our way of life is being changed and our freedom is being threatened. The terrorists are winning!!!!! Wake-up!!! Get on that airplane. Quit wasting your whole day watching the news. Live your life!! We could all die tomorrow and you didn’t do what you wanted today. Was your life fulfilled?

Don’t get me wrong, my heart and prayers go out to all the victims from the attack. It was a cold and ruthless thing to do and be a part of. Of course, something like this could happen again. The only things we can do are pray and continue living. Try living a normal life. Fulfill your life with love and peacefulness. Don’t forget what happened, but don’t live in fear.
