An Annual Day of Sadness

Today is September 11th, so I'd like to say a few things about 9/11. The tragic accident happened thirteen years ago this day. I find myself dreading this day every year for some reason. I don't remember it happening because I was only about three years old at the time, but I've seen many videos and some movies, documentaries, or TV episodes about it. Every aspect of it is just depressing and scary. When I dwell on events such as this, like what's going on in the Middle East right now, my whole viewpoint changes from light to dark for the rest of the day. I guess that's why I dread September 11 each year; I know that the whole world is looking back on this disaster, which makes the world a little dimmer. Although we praise the heroes that saved the lives of many, we still recall the great evil that was done and just hope that nothing like it will be done again.
