People died daily, before sept 11... Sept 11 just got 'broadcast' alot more..

Death is as natural as life..I think the odds of each happening are just about the same.. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Death has been looking us in the eyes since the begining, its just now our 'perceptions' have been forced to take notice of it.. Nothings changed but perceptions..

What does this mean? Take the feeling you have, of uncertanty and look it in the 'eyes'.. Dont shy from death, or what can happen in daily life, do the opposite. Im sure the Jews were nicer to each other once they were in the concentration camps, than when they were 'free'.. psychologically hostages bond with each other, and often become like family... meaning if the grocery store hadnt been held up, would they even know these people who are now brothers and sisters to them? So I ask, is the grocery store a tradgedy, or a blessing?

To get biblical like I did on another post... Revelations explains it all. In the end times, the "chit's going to hit the fan", to put it lightly.. To the untrained eye, it's tradgedys, which on an isolated point of view they are... but in the grand scheme of things, have you not become close to someone you know, since sept 11....that you wouldnt have, if it never happened??

Dont get me wrong, I get sick to think of what type of mental torture it was for those people on those planes, and the ones in the building.. A guy who was staying with us, his mother watched people literally jump from the building, and the whole time assumed her brother, this guys uncle, was inside the building... pretty rough. Luckily he wasnt..

So, in knowing this, there is NOTHING we can do for the ones that are lost... "the dead bury their own"... they are gone.. So, lets evaluate, and make a step forward.... We're still here... By God, we still are a piece of this life... SO... if you put this knowledge, regardless of how traumatic to waste, chalk another one up for the "bad guys".... Use it to your advantage...

Contrary to popular beliefe, we cant add an hour to our lives... regardless of what we do. Our days were numbered before we were born.. SO... from this moment, say a quick prayer in thanks to God, that "He" has allowed you to still take part... THEN.. begin to look at the world from the outside in, instead of the inside out... I have a brother, who is who he is....but....he could have been anyone of you..... I dont have any sisters but the "moral" is still the same....
So, start looking at the face you dont know, not as a stranger, but as a brother or sister in this large "thing" called life that is actually taking place... its actually all going on right now as we speak..

Whats done is done, so reagardless of whats what, take a look at what happened, and understand that it could have been your family, literally....not the "it could be you next time" cliche' that gets put all over the place.... your family, on that plane headed on just some nice vacation... and now you're alone, amongst these "strangers"... all alone..

As far as crashing nuclear plants, or whatever else... this world isnt headed in a nice direction, and ultimatly we will kill ourselves and each other....over trivial things like dirt, rock, a few trees etc.... we will literally kill Life.... because of greed SO...

In knowing this, the tradgedys although at first are horrible to have to comprehend, are, I believe, blessings in disguise...( Im sitting here thinking that kind of sounds messed up too)... Until we wake up into the fact that we truly are alive...and that this is not to be taken lightly... things like this will happen... The dead are walking amongst you daily... eating breathing, having children...making decisions that will ultimatly kill you..... So, let this Sept 11 thing convince you....or wait for the next horrible thing to happen... get fed up, start teaching about life.. The longer we wait, the more "tradgedy's" we will see.... When will it happen to you??

Often times when people are on their death beds... looking at the actual end of what they took for granted, they get a "glimpse" at what life is actually all about... because we see more clearly what we dont have, or are about to lose....that what we actually have been blessed to recieve, and "have".... also, its more often than not, that they dont regret what they have done, so much as what they HAVNT done...

Right now, understand these paragraphs as a bullet that has passed through your brain... you are dead now.. actually comprehend that, and think if I just had one more chance, what would I do... fight for the Mercedes, or fight for the LIFE that is needed in order to enjoy the mercedes....

You never know, I may get fed up and come for YOU....
