Today makes 12 years since our country was attacked by a group of terrorists, resulting in thousands of people dying, and causing a ripple effect of heartache, confusion and panic through our country.
I see all over Facebook today posts about 9/11 and the tragedy it was. I understand the reason people post about it; for some, it's an outlet. A way to get out how your feeling. I do it- I tweeted something about the heroes that lost their lives so I wouldn't lose mine. With today's social media, that's extremely common. What I don't get is the unity that falls apart after today.
We are all standing strong and together on 9/11, the day our whole country changed. Shouldn't we be standing united 24/7? I feel as if humanity needs a tragedy to see the light in any situation, and I wish we would shift from that. Everyday, we should be proud and supportive and loving in the communities we live in. We're given one shot in life to make things right, so why is everyone picking and choosing when to come together? Seems a little crazy, doesn't it?
For those of you reading, I ask this of you: Pay it Forward. Reach out in your community. Help people. Be a lending hand. Be proud of where you come from, and own it. Discriminate against hate, and spread love.
