[QUOTE="Neowolf, post: 362700, member: 673"] Though my story isn't nearly as dramatic or involved as many others' (Chairman Kaga's for example), I guess it wouldn't be out of place here. I was a senior in high school then. The day started like any other: I got up, drove to school, got my books, went to class. The minute I stepped into my first-period English classroom, I knew something was drastically wrong. I looked up at the TV (wall-mounted) just in time to see the first plane slam into the building. A few minutes later, I watched in horror, not fully comprehending, as the second plane hit. I think I was in mild shock by the time the plane hit the Pentagon. Maybe I was already overdosed on emotion by then, but by that point I seemed to already be at the bottom, and couldn't go any lower emotionally. The days and weeks that followed were a nightmarish blur of emotions: rage, fear, worry... Who would bring themselves to commit such an inhuman act? Moreover, who could manage to convince themselves that God himself wanted them to do it? Last time I checked, one of the few things that all major religions agree on is that God teaches love and compassion, not hatred and murder. :confused: Another thing that shocked and disgusted me was how eager my fellow Americans were to lash out at any and all Muslims and even non-Muslims of middle-eastern descent. I have several Muslim friends, and all of them made it very clear to me that this was not the act of a true follower of Islam, and whoever said it was must be twisted beyond redemption. As I'm sure is obvious by now, I'm not at a point in my life where fatherhood is even an issue yet. However, as sad as it is to say, I don't know if I would want my children growing up in the world we got a glimpse of that horrible morning. Even now, a year later, just thinking of these events makes me grit my teeth even as my eyes fill with tears. [/QUOTE]
