The dark side of identity

How has your life changed because of what happened on September 11, 2001?

Where before I would see Arabic people as simply people who I may have a hard time understanding, I afterwards saw them as associated with my nation's enemy. It took years before I learned to stop being paranoid towards "the other" and would once again see the potential good, or at least potential nothing in people before the potential evil.
