On September 11th, here in America we will be commerating the 10th anniversary of 9/11 when our country was attacked by terrorists. We lost over 3,000 people that day in a man-made disaster that changed my country forever.
On the same day, Japan will commerate the six month anniversary of a natural disaster with a loss of 28,000+ people in a 9.0 earthquake and tsunami. Whether we speak of one life or many, grief invades our hearts and we remember.
I sometimes wonder if two such disasters are in any way connected? When hatred and violence stir in mens hearts and propel them toward war, could it also unleash the forces of nature wherein both innocent and guilty become victims? I have no answers; I just wonder.
