9/11

Today is a big day for me. Like so many other unlucky people, I get to remember a dear friend of mine who was murdered on this day. I wish I had some way to cope, somebody to talk to. However, I find that most people don't want to talk about the situation, simply switch topics, or just completely don't care. I wish it were that easy for me- I wish it were that easy for the families and friends who, like me, lost somebody. It's easy to not care when you don't know anybody personally; that is human nature-something that is apart of us all. The one thing I've learned from 9/11 is that it is within our nature to murder, destroy, and to cause as much harm as possible regardless of how it's done. I think today I'm going to relax, go to a special Mass, and pray that Mary will pray for us. I know I was Atheist, but I'm leaning heavily into the Catholic Religion now. I find that it has a sense of comfort and tranquility that I couldn't find elsewhere. In the end, what harm is it to believe in a God even if the Bible is wrong? After all, the Bible was written by man in the way in which they understood the things of their times.
