There’s a difference between “never forget” and “fear forever”…

YES! Thank you! I’ve been trying to get that across to people for years now.

It’s one thing to want to honor the dead. I know how to do that. I grew up doing it, pretty much. It’s another thing entirely to let your fear take over your life and let it all consume you. Nothing good comes from that at all, and these people have lost sight of it.

Honestly? I think a lot of people forget that a day like today isn’t about them. It’s not about their political or religious disagreements, or about a community center being built, or anything like that. It’s about paying respect to the people who died today, and appreciating the fact that you’re still here for one more day.
