Well, very soon it will be 9/11. And I'm sure even though 14 years have gone by, the memory of 9-11-2001 still brings many emotions into most people's minds and hearts. Many are not sure exactly what is going on in Washington, particularly with the new treaty with Iran. Personally, I don't know what the details of it are, but there have been rumors (which I don't believe) that President Obama actually hates the United States, and that he is actually a Muslim. Now, the way I look at it, President Obama's personal life and beliefs are really nobody's business, so it makes no sense to wonder about them, because he is in a sense, a celebrity, and we will never be able to be sure unless we are a family member or a close friend.
But every year, when 9/11 arrives, there are people who get frightened. Some have very vivid memories of the atrocity of what occurred in 2001, and vivid memories alone can trigger fears and emotions that, even though they might not make sense, it is what we feel. But we have to respect our feelings.
We need to respect our own unique feelings about what happened on that day. We may wonder if our feelings are weird, or whether others feel as we do or not. But we need to show very serious respect for whatever it is we feel. And then we need to acknowledge that we are limited humans, and that that is alright too.
