Emotion Blog 9/11

Today I have a mix to two main emotions.  The first being sadness. This sadness is a result of looking back at what happened ten years ago today.  At the time of what happened, I was confused and unsure of what was going on.  It was not until years later that the importance of it all sunk in.  Documentaries have been playing on t.v. and articles are in all sorts of magazines and newspapers.  All of this together allows us to remember that day and the lives that were lost.  This is obviously not a pleasant feeling when put on a bipolar scale.  

At the same time, I am feeling a sense of pride.  A documentary informed me of two men who sacrificed there lives to save many others.  Stories like that remind of all the good that people did to help each other.  So many people sacrificed so much and that makes me proud of the people who live in this country.  This emotion is both pleasant and unpleasant.  It is pleasant to be proud of my country but unpleasant to think all the lives that were lost.  Although this event caused a lot of sadness and loss, it brought us together as a nation.
