It seems like it was just yesterday when those planes hit the world trade center. Back in September 11 2001, I remember being on the computer on IRC as usual and having the television on and that was this headline which flashed on the screen which said that a plane crashed into the World Trade Center. Naturally, I did not think it was a commercial jet liner and thought it was just a small little plane. I turned to CNN and soon enough there were scary footages which did not seems real. Our security bubble has just burst.

It seems like de javu because a few days earlier I thought I’ve just watched a show about a hijacking of a commercial plane and how it almost crashed into a skyscaper but of course in the show the hero overcome the baddies and at the end of the day, nothing tragic happened. But now this is real life. Nothing is ever safe any more.

What is this world turning into ? Although I am properly thousands of miles away from the epicenter, my world didn’t seems the same anymore. There was a lot of stepped up security in and around where I live. There are spot checks and more security checks and more restriction of what I bring up the plane, cost of travel went up.

It is the world in fear. Sadly, I don’t see the threat and the fear subsizing any time soon. The world is already in a sorry state as it is with its natural diasters, we just do not need wars, cowardly terrorists attacks and all that murders going around in the world.

Let’s make peace not war. The world would be a better place if we could all just set aside our differences and work together. Let’s look past racial difference, language and social and financial barriers.
