September 11

the whole world commemorates the 6th anniversary of the world trade
center attack. i remember my cousin aimee telling the story how it was
like to be in new york at that exact moment the twin towers were being
ruthlessly attacked and brought down. it was a total news block out as
they were kept locked in the hospital she was in. she couldnt phone their
boston home to tell her parents shes alright,so she had to call an aunt
in california to phone boston to inform them shes ok.

when she finally got out of the hospital,the roads were a mess.
everyone was covered in dust. you can see evryone crying,helping
everyone,comforting everyone. for her,the silence was deafening,as if everyone is in
mourning.

it now makes me wonder: what person is capable of doing this? what
caused this act that put so many innocent people's lives to waste? so many
dreams shattered, so many hopes broken.

i dont intend to don a miss universe answer here, but really,what
really is wrong with world peace? i think this will be a very nice place to
live in if everyone of us have peace reigning in our hearts.
