If we spent all our time feeling bad about stuff in the news we'd all be depressed and useless. .. and we all memorialize things in our own personal way. I think a lot of people (not those who lost loved ones or were affected directly somehow) have a need to recapture that feeling we all had that day over and over because our country came so close together. :)One Creative Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533010728492263630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607179452773652485.post-64820435642500745342009-09-12T11:14:28.000-06:002009-09-12T11:14:28.000-06:00I suddenly feel a huge urge to shower. and throw a...I suddenly feel a huge urge to shower. and throw away my purse with everything in it.One Creative Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533010728492263630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607179452773652485.post-4109002703682017522009-09-12T10:13:58.000-06:002009-09-12T10:13:58.000-06:00I'm the same way.

We need to remember those lives that were lost, but seeing the tragedy over and over again on the news does not pay them tribute. It just sensationalizes the whole thing.

It is much like having a tragic happening within a family...how you choose to deal with it in the future is a very personal thing.

Its not a disrespect to the families that were left behind not to want to watch all that stuff over and over again; to me its more painful than a celebration to see the news footage. <br /><br />So yesterday, I said a prayer for the families left behind, hoping that they were coping well with their losses, and I moved on. I didn't watch anything on tv about it, and I made no special posts on my blog. These people aren't forgotten to me, and neither is the date, but I don't want to see those planes crashing into the towers anymore.One Creative Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533010728492263630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607179452773652485.post-81749505476719768692009-09-12T03:33:24.000-06:002009-09-12T03:33:24.000-06:00Not a bad person, not at all.Not a bad person, not at all.One Creative Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533010728492263630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607179452773652485.post-11416853735252477642009-09-11T23:34:29.000-06:002009-09-11T23:34:29.000-06:00I want to remember it as well however, I'm sic...I want to remember it as well however, I'm sick of the media they never know when enough is enough.

However, in my case, a few moments to reflect on the Past Tense of the day and all the people both impacted AND making a difference going forward seemed like the least I could do. But it's true the whole thing is truly painful, so a distraction is a good thing, to stay "even keeled!"

I think the media just keeps replaying the horrific events to gain from the ratings, but it just makes us de-sensitized in the end. I prefer to raise my flag out in front and say a silent prayer for those who died that day.

I also did not mention it on my blog just as I don't mention the Jim Jones massacre, but it doesn't mean I don't remember and hurt for those families and people that lost their life.

Imagine how the people who survived, and the people whose loved ones perished feel seeing that - over and over. <br /><br />I am like you in that I cannot bear to watch death and destruction, including that commercial you reference. I have a simple memorial image on my blog today. It is important to me to do that.<br /><br />No, it doesn't make you a bad person.
