please bear with me folks, not thinking straight to be honest.
i can only speak for myself here and how i feel, and today is a day i wish never to see repeated.
Not only for my stuff but for the sake of the thousands of people that have been killed, leaving hundreds of thousands of people with holes blasted through their lives when this morning all was well.
These people were at work today, worrying about paying bills, whether they were going to get fat from eating that bagel on their way, wondering if they could slip away early, surfing the net instead of working - doing exactly what we do every day of our lives.
Except now they're not here anymore, in an instant (for the lucky ones) they were taken away where nothing is worried abaout anymore.
There must have been people that had just proposed, were nervous about asking that person in accounts out, worrying about finding the money to fix the car, overjoyed because they heard a piece of music that lifted their souls for a brief moment in the car.
But now they're not doing that anymore. And families/friends/colleagues/people in chat rooms are sitting in dumbfounded confusion, pain and fear because someone took them away with no warning and no permission given.
But there is a good side to this, let me try to explain why (but it is also filled with a sense of anguish and pain-fuelled sadness)
Right now, since this has happened, the entire world has stopped worrying about everything else. Everyone has stopped in their tracks and said "christ...."
Stranger are helping each other on the streets of New York, nobody cares about getting their clothes dirty, they want to help. People are getting on hands and knees and dragging rubble out of the way for each other.
The only thing on people's minds is wanting to help and trying to understand why the world can be so hateful.
I've seen strangers holding each other and offering support, just sitting down and telling each other "It's going to be alright man, it's ok"
People are, right now in this moment of time, concerned for each other.
Why does it take something like this for us to be like that?
Surely we can do this all the time? it's not that hard.
people that are helping each other and telling each other to be strong, yesterday morning they were cutting each other up in traffic and swearing at them for taking an age in a checkout line.
Everybody feels concern and sympathy for each other.
But it wont last, we'll go right back to being mean and spiteful to each other in a few weeks.
Happened with other major disastors, the world pulled together and for a brief flash, cared for each other.
But it never lasts, and that makes me sad.
Why does it have to take a tragedy like this for everyone to realise just how precious life is, regardless of whether you know someone or not?
I said it when I spoke of how my accident changed my life, I now have to be honest and sincere all the time.
Please, remember how you feel right now and keep hold of that.
Realise just how lucky we are that we are alive. Tell someone that you love them, because you might not get another chance.
Forgive someone that has been winding you up, dont let pride keep you distant from someone.
Times like this,we all need someone to talk to, cry with, share laughter with and to feel loved and needed.
Don't hate someone because they look funny or sound different or dont believe in your god, just realise that the person you mock/despise/laugh at now, would get on their knees and pull rubble away if you were trapped underneath.
Dont let it come to that before you appreciate that people need each other, we need to be told we are important, we need to be told that we're special and someone loves us or likes us.
Please please please, don't leave it until it's too late before you realise just how precious life is, because it's only when it gets taken away that you realise the thins you never did or said.
today has been very very hard for everyone with a heart and soul, you might not have lost anyone yourself, but someone else somewhere around this planet has, and they dont need nasty comments and jokes, they need to know that they can turn to someone and they will help.

Sheepy I had the same thing
"WW3 would be wicked, I would love a war!! We would cane them like we did the germans"
MORONS
Would you like a war? If one did start you would be the first one under the table like everyone else.
A war would be cool? Erm no. If you did survive the world would go into ice age and totally darkness for years.
We would cane them? Well anythings possible, nobody was expecting some terrorists to hi-jack a plane and crash it into the world trade centers did we?
So all I can say is MORONS.
Goatboy Excellent post, made me think for a while.
And that, is special.
Hope it goes well for you Goatboy.

Today I wanted to cry
I had something eating away at me.
I am 15... not being modest FAR more mature for my age... and what do I have to have intelluctual conversations with?
" Aye, did ye pure see the plane... it wiz pure brilliant "
MORONS
Goatboy mate... I love your views on life, honestly. Great post.
Grix I feel the same... today I was in school with morons my own age... DOING FUNNING MATHS WHEN THIS WAS HAPPENING. I wanted to help people... do something... know what was happening, but no teacher mentioned it.
I am not scrae mongerling but this could easily be the beginnign of the end yet it could be a one off and this pathetic life goes on.
Can't say anymore... I feel stupid being so emotional when those around me except parents and close friends are acting like morons and as if everything is fine.
I need to stop. Sorry folks.

P.S I love you guys ;-)
Not in that way you sick dirty hippies :-D
Need some humour... helps me through day.

I fail too see how anyone, of any age can make jokes about a situation like this, or not even care about it.
It's too big, too important, and anyone who is indifferent to it has obviously not even thought about it properly. Too many people care only about their own little world, and nobody outside it.

Yeah, everyone i spoke to today just made cracks about it, bleedin' wangers
I still have this weird feeling inside me.
I still have this weird feeling inside me.
There's not much I can find to say anymore except to express my agreement with Goatboy's post and express my heartfelt sympathies to everyone affected.
I didn't know anyone involved and I still feel hollow and dazed. I can't imagine how some people must be feeling right now, but if those people personally affected can still reach out to help others at a time like this then we shouldn't write off our species as a lost cause just yet.

I despise my age, I despise being so young, and having to live and work with people who only care about football and how cool the explosions are. It really doesn't help my view of humanity.
