I just saw the picture through e-mail this morning and I believe that you had no reason whatsoever to doctor, touch up, etc. the photograph. Although the photo image of the devil is startling to see, I cannot believe that there are disbelievers in evil or in the devil for that matter. Who else would have put such evil fanaticism in the minds and hearts of the terrorists? It is pretty basic, if you believe in good you have to believe in the evil. For me there is no fear, just reality. A tragic reality that tears you up inside when you think of all of the lives lost and the survivors and victim families that will never be the same. This is a time to forget the past, forget the questioning and doubting, just believe in the good, in God, regardless of your religion, pray for peace. Continue to "love thy neighbor". After all is said and done, that is all we have left, the love in our hearts. So my suggestion, which advice I am trully practicing, is make amends with one and all, resolve all those petty arguments with family, friends, co-workers, etc.. Overlook what may have really bothered you about people in general and those who "push your buttons". Be nice, polite, courteous, hold the door open for someone, and more importantly, SMILE. A smile goes a long way, it is an excellent instrument of peace that costs nothing but the gains are numerous. I truly hope that this is the message that people get from this tragedy and your photo.<br><br>A Friend in Miami,<br><br>Yvonne Gomez<br>
