September 11, 2001 – The darkest day in history.
Hmmm, Really Mad, Sad No Comments »Arguable? Maybe. There have been many dark days in human kind’s history, through natural disasters to acts of human evil, but none can compare to the absolute evil executed in peace time against civilians that took so many lives in so short a time in full view of the world.
This is a turning point in human history, of that there can be no doubt. There is an evil in this world that cannot go unacknowledged, nor unchallenged. It has woven itself into the fabric of civilized society. It is a virus that cannot be destroyed by killing its host.
The time ahead will be trying for the whole world, both for those who uphold the rights of freedom and for those who oppose it. Never in history has evil triumphed – in that the civilized world can find solace, but the triumph over evil always comes with sacrifice.
All is not dark, however. Piercing the utter blackness of this evil deed are shining beacons of hope and humanity illuminating the best in us all.
These few links are offered as uplifting and thoughtful testaments to the human spirit.
