Please please please keep this from getting political. This has absolutely nothing to do with any of that. Please restrict this to feelings about things. If you feel the need to say anything that could be seen as political, I will personally ask that this thread be locked/deleted.
I know many of us remember where we were September 11, 2001. I know for a fact that my life was never the same. From the first second of all that went on, everyone was calling for the death of Bin Laden. It almost seemed like his death would be the answer to everything. However, if you lost someone Sep. 11, his death means nothing. If your life was turned upside down after Sep. 11, his death offers no comfort. If you still live everyday feeling as though there is no safe place, his death does nothing to offer safety.
Everything on TV shows people celebrating his death. I do not celebrate his death. I cannot celebrate the death of any individual regardless of what he or she may have done. What I can say is all of this coverage and celebration just creates more stress for me.
I guess the main reason I wanted to make this thread was to give people a place to talk about how they feel about all of this. I know 10 years later, the pain of Sep. 11 is still raw and this latest event feels to me like the scars have been ripped apart again.
