Do you know what's way better than arguing about loss of American lives and the loss of Afghan lives? Replacing the words "American" and "Afghan" with the word "human".
Doesn't that really put it in perspective?
No, stop b*tching about your "jihad" and do what you can every darn day to ensure that you love your fellow man. Your fellow man includes everyone in the world! Not just your family, not just your city, not just your state, not even your country. Your fellow man includes everyone. Love them all and try to see their situations. Try to live in their shoes. Love more.
I think that if Sept 11 taught us anything, it is that there needs to be more compassion for everyone. Not just more compassion for the victims of the WTC attacks, but more compassion for the starving children around the world who will grow up to despise and resent rich Americans and their easy lives.
This is the first time I've ever posted here about the Sept 11th tradegy. It will also be the last time. Believe me, it's been hard to stay out sometimes. I just hope that what I had to say gets through to at least 1 person.
