911DA Story: Story

On 9/11/01 I was in Vallejo CA and a 28 years old. In my life time I have never ever seen anything like this and only wonder what kind of poeple are capable of taking another persons life without thinking about it or having no regrets. This was a life changing event for my because I viewed life in a different way and thought that we had no purpose as people; but after this I learned to love myself more as well as care more for other people than I do for myself and I think that we are here to help each other in our endeavors in life and that selfishness should not be a part of our vocabulry; but it does exist. I think that one of the only messages that I get from this is to love, protect, care for, embrace, uplift, and encourage each other to do good and strive to be all you can without forgetting of others. We all live in one world no matter what our color, race, or sexuallity. Most important we are all human created by one man that loves us all.
