Thinking about 9-11

I appreciated the contribution of Bob Cornwall, who calls on us to make this a time of building bridges. One of the most disastrous wounds that result from this event is the combination of our fear, anger, hatred, and desire for revenge. I don’t mean to diminish the impact of the evil act of hatred itself, but it is critical that we don’t partake of that evil by becoming hateful ourselves. We can take necessary actions for justice and for our own security without doing so.

The act itself was evil, but what we do about it, and what we become as a result is up to us, not to the terrorists.

I was impressed with Bob Cornwall’s call to build bridges. We desperately need more bridge building.
