Special offer

and they were celebrating..but not all

By
Real Estate Agent with Northwood Realty Services

A  friend posted a  commented on the media  coverage of Osama bin Laden's death.  He said  " my concern is the world seeing the rejoicing and jubilation  in the streets over the American Victory of Osama bin Laden's death."

I agree  with my friend. The media.... aren't they   the eyes of how people perceive what we do, how the people  feel & how we respond to situations? .. Is that really how it is?  Can we put a group of over excited, jubilant people in a box & say we are in that box too?

I agree with many that  fill uncomfortable with celebration...why be uncomfortable over the death of murderer?...

  • You mourn A LIFE that could have made the world a better place .
  • Your mourn A FATHER... who was the cause of a son's death by his teaching, guidance & direction {certainly not the bullets of the brave men who  risk their lives to perform their Military duty) ..
  • You mourn the disastrous results of 911  and impact of evil & hate, that has changed the course of history and touch every human life on earth

                                           will this impact our lives to make the world a better place?  Has this.....will this...make us stronger....a better human being? We will see..

 

Osama bin Laden's death will not bring back the 3000 deaths nor restore the heartache of the American people.

The sad truth is ....

  • The evil of 911 didn't have to happen, 
  •  There will always be some hot shot terrorist ready to step into his shoes of their murderous leader..


.that my friends.....  is un-nerving and unchanging.

 

Hate is an Evil that destroys itself...but not without the sacrifice of the innocent....

A heart of gratitude to our Brave Military and their families for sacrificing that we may rejoice in our American freedoms

We as Americans can  cautiously rejoice that an Evil has been destroyed but always be aware .....

This amazing man has said it all.

 

""I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate

for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only

light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." --Martin Luther King, Jr.

Celebration, in my opinion, is part of the healing process and a symbol of relief for many who feel this is a testiment of our resolve not to give up or be afraid. 

Granted there are those who will step in and want to fill the void, but in all truth, those who want to do us harm do not need further motivation.

Sandi I t respect your comment & think it is reall how we re-act to our emotions.  I was feeling guilty because I didn't feel the celebration everyone else was feeling.. and to each his own in how they respond and to some it could bring healing.
