Happy Monday! How’s
everyone’s week going so far? Hopefully, well. Mine is going okay so far.
Today’s Meredith’s
Monday Musing is all about: September-11th.
Does everyone here
remember September-11th? I don’t. I was pretty young at the time and I don’t
remember it. I do however remember learning about it in school. I always hated
learning about it. Yes, I know that is horrible to say, but let me explain.
Growing up, when I
was taught about wars, I wasn’t happy to learn about the people who died in
battles, but I knew that those men and women knew the risks when they signed up
(or were drafted into the army.) Also, the men and women in wars knew what they
were fighting, whether it be the South in the Civil War, the Nazis in World War
2, etc. There was always a common enemy that American soldiers could stand up
to.
With the attack of
September-11th, the people who were hurt and died that day, they weren’t in
battle. These poor innocent people were just at work, doing their jobs. They’d
done nothing wrong. They didn’t sign up to join the army, they didn’t know what
they were getting into when they went to work that day. Yet, they were
attacked.
The reason for
September-11th is horrible. A group of extremists got together and decided they
were going to attack America and for what? America has its flaws, we all know
that. But, I don’t see a logical reason at all for what occurred on
September-11th-2001 to have ever happened. That’s why I always hated learning
about this event at school.
I can rationalize why
America participated in other wars and people were killed or hurt. With
September-11th, I can’t do that. There is no sane way to rationalize the events
that occurred that fateful day. That’s why I hated learning about it. Those
people who died, shouldn’t have. Having to watch footage of people running away
from the collapsing towers, it was heartbreaking.
With all of the above
said, even though I really disliked learning about this day in school, I
understand why we were taught it. The people who died that day have the right
to be remembered. Also, by teaching every American about that awful day, it
hopefully will allow it to never happen again. One of the only ways to stop
violence is to educate people, so we don’t allow the same mistakes to happen
for a second time.
