9/11 מקווה שהטקסט קריא
last night after work, I had to go to century 21 to return something I got my mother when she was here. I couldn´t resist gazing again at the hole in the ground across the street. I cried. I cried hard. I asked myself why am I crying? I haven´t lost anyone, I have experienced similar events in the past, am I crying because of me? am I being connected to my own personal sense of sorrow? am I using it to allow myself to let go of personal matters? at some point I realized, I am just angry. I am so angry - all I can do is cry. I am angry because there is so much hate in this world. I am less angry at terrorists than I am at intellectuals. I am angry because the answer to injustice anywhere in the world - is not in finding blame. the answer to oppression is not retaliation, the answer to anger is not by fueling more anger in the name of justice. I don´t trust intellectual activism anymore - activism loaded with the superiority of "knowledge" , with the power to blame. there is no one truth. there is one human need we fail to focus on. the need to connect.the need to have children grow with the ability to be fear less of the future. with the strength to hug, not the ability to hate. we all make mistakes , we all fail to keep our promises. 9/11/2001 was a beautiful sunny morning, today a year later a day after - it´s windy. and it is sad.
