People love to wax nostalgic - mostly because I think they just want attention, but really, what have we learned? We have prevented another similar event from happening, but still there is ISIS etc.
I get disgusted with people honoring anniversaries of tragic events. I really don't see anything that come from it except media coverage and people rehashing things that will make no difference in the end.
If you want to honor the fallen from 9/11, go to NY or write their families
Posting here or on FB or wherever is just an exercise of self gratification and glorification.
Not impressed.
We've learned all people on Earth can only tolerate so much, and then they snap and fight back even if it kills them.
We learned Bush Jr. was a child not ready to be president of the PTA let alone the USA.
We learned 80% of the US military budget is a welfare-make-work program for the Military-Industrial-Complex. It did not protect anyone. The one thing the military is in existence to do.
We learned this is a great country, and great countries have great highs and fathomless lows.
I personally learned what it felt like on Dec 7, 1941. On 9/11/01 all I wanted to do was join the military and find the people that did that and kill them. It wasn't a thought, it was a physical reaction.
Most important, we learned we too are only human.
