What america needs today.


In light of this tragic day I would like to touch on a taboo subject. Please be warned that the image you see is quite graphic. I am sorry to those how take offence to it. Let's begin.

What are you thinking when you take a look at this picture? What are your feelings? Do you feel sick in the pit of your stomach? Do you feel the need to help this child? Do you want to hurt the person who did this?

What your feeling right now is basic human reaction to triage. The need to stand up after a great fall. This is what we need now. America needs another triage. I'm not saying I want one, I'm just saying as a country we lost our will to be what our four fathers wanted this great nation to be.

Some of you may be saying to yourself, "Your wrong, this method is inhuman!” Before you close your mind hear me out. If someone you love dies, don't you feel the need to pray, even though you’re not religious? If a close friend of yours dies by using drugs, don't you try to clean up your act? If a lover dies in the war don’t you feel that you should get revenge? You see human nature at its best.

I ask still one thing. Why must we shed blood to care?

Ah, such a graphic image you have up there.
Though, it does make sense to put something afflicting to catch a readers attention plus commemorate the event that truly changed American's personal perspective worldwide and homeland wise(America). It caught my attention and gave me a broader state of mind towards nine-eleven. (That could have been anyone one of us.)

However, I disagree about shedding blood in order to care.
I think, the sight of blood, rather than shedding blood, is more understandable term of sympathy towards individuals. I mean, if we cared to much about shedding our Brothers and Sister blood, speaking in as a whole of America, then why do we send soldiers to die in the battlefields?

We would automatically not send our love ones to foreign countries because we wouldn't want them to shed blood. Would we? Though, I am only contradicting myself, because they are out their for our sake, and our protection. For us not to shed blood because they care.
