Ten years ago, September 11, 2001, its a Tuesday and a school day. I'm still grade school that time. I was early at school that morning so we have more time to talk and play. My friends and I were addicted to different colors My Gel ballpens back then. We decided to run to the nearby (our "suki") store to buy before the first bell rings. When we arrived at the store, the owner's television was open and tried to peek what's on TV and that's when we saw that the twin towers in New York were attacked (suicide attacks). Then two planes also crashed in Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania.
At that time, we were very sad because it has affected many people. Our classmate even said that he's Uncle who is living in Manhattan is just ten minutes late for work that time. He was about to go to his office when he go back home because he left something. That's when the suicide attacks happened. His Uncle was very shocked. If he hadn't left anything at home, he might be included in the people who were trapped in the building... That's when we realized, life's precious so we should appreciate it.
Philippines is thousand miles away from USA but we were also affected because its not only about terrorism, its about innocent HUMAN LIFE.
It may have a small impact on me ten years ago but now i realized... I am living in world were life is not better but its becoming worse. 9/11 didn't happen only ten years ago, its is happening everyday.
Wars in different sides of the world. Kidnapping. Money. Power. Greed.
War ruins everyone's life. It can make our lives miserable. It can leave devastation not only to adults but also to many children. After 9/11, how many kids have lost their fathers? mothers? brothers? sisters? Ten years, twenty years, until the day those incidents will leave a large hole in their hearts... :(
Everyday, how many futures ended? Each time someone fires a gun, what impact does it leave to the innocent who people who have heard the screams and the shouts? How many children grow up without their fathers on their side because he is on the other side of the world to protect their country?
Its so sad to know that we are living in such world. I pray to God everyday to heal the hearts of the people who were hurt and the people who have caused the hurt. I hope God will touch the hearts, our hearts to wash away all the greed, the power and every evil things in the world.
The only good thing about these tragedies is everyone comes together to share the pain. Everyone helps the people in need and everyone steps up so some people could live.
Do you really want war? Think about it.
When I saw this on tumblr, this really broke my heart...
Please meet Landon.. his dad Marine LCPL Carpenter made the ultimate sacrifice while serving with the 3/8 in Afghanistan earlier this year.. a month before his son was born. Never forget the price of freedom.So tell me? How many innocent kids will have to wake up each day knowing that a part of their lives is lost, forever?
Stop the war... Spread love. ♥
