Astounding. Never forget! I am working on the forgive part. That's tough, real tough, but when I think about it I don't know how the human race can ever achieve world peace without it. Idealistic, I know. But I'm gonna try to forgive, try to do my part and forgive...it'll take a long time, and a lot of getting over the anger at those who caused the events on this day to occur. But maybe someday. In the meantime, I hope our country continues to beef up it's military forces...

Thought I would share this with you guys. A friend of mine passed this onto me and it had me shocked and speechless.
The Falling Man
One of the most haunting images captured from 9/11, it shows a man free-falling after he has jumped from one of the windows of North Tower. He was one of the people they call “Jumpers”, who chose to jump to their death rather than get suffocated by the smoke or get buried under the rubble. Some called them cowards, while some sensationalized them as tragic symbols of 9/11. But the fact of the matter is, it was a hard choice for anyone to make, and one can not really judge the decisions a person makes in times like these.
People, you rant so much about how you have a hard time making choices. Whether you should work on your assignment or go out with your friends. Whether you should date this guy or that guy. Whether you should break up with your boyfriend or not. Whether you should wear the pink blouse or the baby blue one. Imagine the choice this man had to make.
