I'm not sure where to put this thread, but as it does pertain to 9/11, I suppose here is as good as any.

Today it has been ten years since the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon, and I feel so alone. I live in America and have been thinking about this day for the last week, yet trying to talk to others and express my empathy I feel I am viewed as a pathetic person. I do not understand this. I mourn slightly for the families of the victims who lost their life on that day, however, this is not where my tremendous grievous comes from. I mourn for today. For the millions of Americans who have been brainwashed by the media and stripped of their common sense. I mourn for the children of this country who are being and will be raised believing war is just, good, and defending our freedoms. I have cried, and will most likely shed more tears for those who have lost their innocent lives simply living in a country my country has bombed and waged war against. I am saddened by the lack of protesting my country has demonstrated in not further investigating the actions that took place on September eleventh, two thousand and one. But most of all, I am so frustrated that I go to work, pay my bills, pay my taxes, go out to eat, and entertain myself without doing a single thing about the unlawful and horrific things my government does which I inadvertently fund. And I feel so alone...

Why do more people not cry? Why do more people not care? Why are we all so incredibly ignorant to the point the we are stupid by not questioning what impacts us so greatly?

I have not posted anything on this site for quite some time. I make this post to ask you, people of the world, do you have empathy? I suppose I'm looking for a friend, or at least someone else out there who feels the same way I do. I can't share my true feelings at work, with my family, or even with my closest friends. My wife is the only one I can talk to and I am extremely grateful for her. But to my friends out there who I will most likely never meet, do you feel alone today? Do you share my empathy, or am I just a lame person who thinks too much and cares too much for things I have no control over? Either way, today is a lonely day. Do you agree?

Nope I don't feel alone at all, too bad you feel that way......... Fact of the matter is people die everyday and I don't want to sound harsh but their lives were no more important than anyone else who has died so I don't feel extra grief for them.... It is sad and I feel grief when people pass but there is just too much emphasis being put on 9/11 and it's making me care less and less...... Sorry if I sound ignorant I am just tired of the fear all the time!

Without sounding like too much of a soul less man I think it is important to realize that while these things happen it is important to raise your chin and continue. I was all for turning the middle east into Lake America when 9/11 Happened just because the cold blood of vengeance ran through me for years after that. Harm us? Fu** you! However, as I have gotten older I realize that the only good vengeance is living a happy and well life to the best that you can.. The hate that TPTB wish you feel or the sadness they wish you feel or the helplessness they wish you feel. Thats all what "they" want' You must do what is good for yourself and your family and by your actions of good will come acts of good from others who take notice in your deed's.

Many are saddened by 9/11 and would no doubt go to war with the world if thats what it meant to save America but for now we must seek peace because unless we have a sturdy home we cannot carry any message of hope and freedom abroad for it is already not being taken seriously.

In the end America will continue but it is up to us to rise up to the standards by which it takes to run this great country. I refuse to lose to Communist China thank you very much! I just sold my Car to buy a truck and start a business in which I hope to employ other Americans soon. I am looking and building a positive future for myself. You do the same.

I wish I believed that, but when looking at the facts, I don't see that as a reality. However, I do agree in your stance on perseverance. The question I run into is, what's really worth your time and effort. A small business? Maybe, but what's that really doing to help others and stop this madness the whole world has become a part of?

There's no need to feel so lonely. However it is natural to feel that way when you are depressed and mourning on the familes that go through their own despair. But have no worry, they can take care of themselves. They will survive, you have to put some focus and confidence in yourself. Turn that negative energy into positive energy, everyday put that positive energy into everything. Let that positive energy attract other positive energy. Don't be down this is only a temporary emotion. You've talked about 9/11 all week as you mentioned before, so you wanted to feel that loneliness and the agony and despair in the first place. The media, 95 percent of the time they focus on the negative. Solution to aviod that is to turn off the T.V or change the channel.
