You might as well question why we breathe. If we stop breathing, we’ll die. If we stop fighting our enemies, the world will die. – Casablanca
Someday, we may forgive, but we must never forget. We cannot deny our anger, but neither can we allow it to drive us into becoming monsters. We have spent over a decade trying to avenge those we lost, and trying to prevent such atrocities from happening again. It is time to remember those we lost, and renew our promise to protect against the jackals who snarl at us from the dark.

/ September 11, 2014One of the best days of my life was when I learned that forgiveness and trust aren’t tied together, and that forgiveness is an act of the will, not a felling. I will forgive those who wrong me, since the end result of unforgiveness is bitterness, and bitterness corrodes the vessel hat contains it. But I may never trust them again.

Thanks.
