My reserved 9/11 thoughts

I'll keep my 9/11 remarks to this: In memory of the 2,996 people who died 9 years ago, I hope humanity can move beyond the terrible hate that the 9/11 attacks were an example of. This day could be a call to peace, and a repudiation of hate, so that such an great tragedy becomes a thing of the past. Please, let us work towards common goals and peace, rather than fear, anger and division that can tear us apart, or worse, even threaten our very existence.

If we can rise above this, for the sake of all the people who died on 9/11, and for the sake of all who died since as a result of those attacks, let us try to embody the best that humanity could be, not the worst.
