We will never forget... forget what?

I came across this post on facebook by my dear friend Cody Morris, and thought I would share.

We hear the saying “We will never forget” a lot this time of year, but what is it exactly that we are swearing not to forget? The tragedy? The sacrifice of people who made a difference? To be more vigilant? All of the above? I feel like the one thing most worthremembering is the one thing most people seemed to forget the fastest, which was the unity we all felt that day. For one day, a week at most, the divisions between us all disappeared. It didn’t matter if you were rich or poor, cop or street thug, baptist or catholic, white or black, we were all one, all united under a single concept: American. There was even unity between other countries and ours, united behind the concepts of good and humanity.  So maybe today, when you’re hearing “We will never forget” everywhere and seeing it on bumper stickers, remember also the Unity and what it felt like for that brief moment in time to be free of all the walls between us. Maybe even imagine a future where every day is like that, where people change from “ours is the right way” or “a better way” to “ours is merely another way, for we are all one.”   Love, Magic and Laughter,
