Rememberance

It has been 13 years since the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001.  There are many things going on to commemorate and remember that day.  I'm a little more sanguine about things with regards to the goings on in the world.  That is not to say that there are not a lot of problems happening or that serious things are on the horizon, but I choose to stay on the positive.  I remember a line from Deep Space Nine that Sisko said during a monologue he was doing for his personal log.  "The souffle will either rise or it won't.  There's not a damn thing you can do about it, so you might as well sit back and wait, and see what happens."  Suffice it is to say, don't fret and worry about things out of your control and focus on the things you are able to change.

With that being said, things have definitely changed over the past decade.  Some for the better, some for the worse.  However, more and more people are growing up with no idea how "things used to be" which is good and bad.  I think "the way things used to be" gives a certain perspective that is important.  I think it's helpful to know how to "do things the hard way" so you can appreciate the way things are done now.
