It has now been seven years since the tragic events of September 11, 2001. It seems that many people have not forgotten, but have somewhat pushed the importance of the day to the side. I myself am guilty of this.
I think that we all need to remember this day, not necessarily for the tragedy side of it, but because of the patriotism that resulted afterwards. I feel that the sense of patriotism has dwindled drastically. It's a shame. I think our country in general has one of the worst senses of nationalism of the entire world. We don't unite under the title of our nation.
Many times I have wondered if I am treating people the way God wants me to treat them. Many times I fail to listen to others carefully, as I get wrapped up in myself. I am truly sorry for anyone who has felt this while in conversation with me. I ask for your forgiveness. I am trying to be less self centered and more focused on other people. This is how I will build stronger friendships, and be a better friend to people. It will be a work in progress, but hopefully things will turn out better in the end
