9/11 - Have we changed.?



1. On September 11th we were shockingly thrust into  rude & complete awareness of our religious differences, painfully, glaringly been made conscious of so many un-acceptables in our regard for another's faith beliefs. We were woken to the fact that not everyone are 'brothers' anymore! The romance was put to rest. 


2. Our tolerance level has decreased; the ease in rejecting, ridiculing & effortlessly forming negative perceptions against other religions' beliefs has become second nature, a narrowing of the once liberal acceptance of other faiths' practices and preferences gets more constricted. It becomes reasonable to pass adverse judgment based on anothers' religious or ethnic affiliations with little or no second thoughts. A kind of justified retribution for the crime of a few miscreants. A kind of DUTY or RIGHTs of the 'wronged party'


3. "Those not with us…" i.e not of same faith or ethnicity is now easier rejected and un-hesitantly discriminated against, like it were the Right & Proper thing to do. 
*How about the consideration that we all were Human beings? *How about the thought that NOT EVERYONE who does not       share the same belief system is EVIL or Malevolent? 
*How about the same ethnic group or religious groups to which     one belong also has many equally evil miscreants? 
*How does one account for this fact of this imperfection of folks   from one's chosen race with similar evil bent plus a history of       genocide??


4. Stereo-typing of individuals and groups has become an acquired art. You wear a head scarf or has facial hair of a certain fashion or dresses in THAT way- you are "NOT WITH US" - hence you 'are against us'. 
A hardening arrogance that we do not need you, those of an unacceptable  color or race or beliefs to foul up our lives, is very apparently widespread.


5. Unofficially an ongoing war is smoldering under the skin & in hearts of victims & 'perceived victims' of 9/11's carnage. Every affected, or 'indirectly victimized' person if legally so allowed, would not wait to wreak vengeance & extort their ounce of retribution. 
It definitely is irredeemably intolerable to lose a loved one for no other reason than to be at the wrong place in the path of a maniacal clandestine operation! 
Yet let's stop to consider how many millions are victims of the  many world wars with dead family members, equally as missed & as irredeemably lost? 
Is their pain being continually rehashed &  exploited for the making of political Hay? 
*How come no body is eager to commemorate Nagasaki or Hiroshima? 


6. No one is 'happy' nor at all 'willing' to forget or forgive or to even overlook the gruesome incident as another of Man's constant struggle for supremacy; That is a natural Human failing; rather life is centered around re-living, recreating the horror, not allowing folks to forget, likely for the propagation of whatever sinister motives. 
Many are unaware & get sucked by the hype, spin & manipulations of one's sense of injustice to gain capital for a bigger, evil-er, powerful, unseen force seeking advancement of it's agenda. 

Suspicions, fears, guised as prepared-ness to avert a repeat, has fanned a paranoia; sanctioning official intrusions into civil life & frivolous disregard for personal privacy. A justification of the ends that seemingly is worth the loss of our Freedoms. 
What else is sacred if that we hold dear is lost forever? 
        Retributions never add value to any system anytime.


7. The world did not get any way better by way of interpersonal, inter-racial, inter-ethnic relations. It went south, became sour & bad while slowly gets more poisoned by subtly spread insinuations, innuendoes that is laced into the subconsciousness of the general public via indirect indoctrinatory comments, via partial media, by slanted publications, observations highlighting the negatives of the ways and 'evil' of "those not for us"


8. The world has not moved in any direction towards reconciliation nor any direction at all to Unity for the good of Human-kind. 
Sadly from trends observed from Hour Zero it has never been inclined so!

Narrow parochial interest plus extreme patriotism, nationalism, territorialism and all other SELF-isms,  are being promoted shamelessy - The new RELIGION.

Needless to mention many are the right-set  heroic souls everywhere who bemoan the death of Trust, of Camaraderie, of an Utopia of a Single Race of Beings, of Openness,  & of other noble values and ideals which went up with the smoke of September 11th's Twin Towers. 

These are like lost voices crying in the wilderness!
Invariably drowned out by the deaf indifference of Global Supremacy at all costs.
