The human heartless barbary of 9/11/2001 will leave a high level of indelible memory through the end of my days. It was the deadliest terr-orist attack in history.
There were over 3,000 casualties (including the hijackers) on that day and many were left with irreparable injuries. It seems I am re-watching it right now...
The younger generations do not realize or actually apprehend what happened on that?eternalized?day. The entire United States turned into a War state, "confusion" and outrage built up across the country together with disbelief, sorrow and strong feelings of retaliation.?
Though that turmoil will affect the rest of my life, which would mean I was to hate and contest for full-blown revanche, the claimed terrorists are not just lunatic crazy people, they were regular individuals who have been oppressed, harassed, bullied, threatened, brutalized, killed, humiliated, displaced, imprisoned, robbed of their dignity as humans, dismembered as a unified group of another religious beliefs and habits for decades.
Then pressed to the limit they decide to vindicate their oppressors (don't be naive to think that the oppressors were angelic beings).? ?
This oppressing relationship has happened for thousands of years, and is known by those who study history and I understand them. I ask you PLEASE to apologize me by those who don't have the same sensibility to understand what I am trying to convey and are not capable of putting themselves in the other side's shoes.?
This DOES NOT MEAN that barbaric terr-orist acts should happen or be accepted but at least be understood. Afterall a reasoning, impartial, and just mind is expected from truly evolved intelligent people of any gender or color.
Justice is much more than a word used by a fancy-dressed individual who arrogantly decides what is right or wrong based on a man-made relative set of rules. What would you do together with your buddies if you were living under these detrimental circumstances (absolute oppression)??
As many do not have the prowess and sheer mighty power to fight back they use simpler cheaper tactics of revanche using one or a few individuals as sui cide bom bers?
But to make things worse this blind sense of revenge led the United States and allies to invade and destroy (unjustly) Ir-aq, Afgha-nistan and Ly-bia where millions of innocent civilians were decimated and are suffering through this day.?

Regarding the association of the 9/11 Twin Towers destruction with the ancient and Biblical story of the Babel Tower.?In olden times according to legend, humans have become so materialistic, egocentric, perverted, and full of themselves and decided to build a tower that reached the heavens (a type of "challenging" God).?
The city was supposedly Babel or Gab-ilu ("Gate of God") which in the Hebrew form sounds like the pronunciation of Balal, which means "TO CONFUSE"
So, God seeing that humans became excessively perverted and developed ways to overtake the heavens, He decided to mess up with the city, the construction of the tower (there was even an accident destroying part of it) and?"confused" their languages so the people could not communicate with each other and so they spread out to other lands.
Curiously, the Book of Genesis chapter that describes the Tower of Babel is 11:9
The anecdotal correlation is that New York is the heart, the center of the financial world where we envision most humans' excesses, and extreme materialism and mainly focus on making money and gaining power. No regard for others whatsoever
In NY more than most anywhere in the world "Greed is Good" as portrayed by the famous speech of Gordon Gekko in the 1987 movie "Wall Street", which according to many in-the-know has been more aggravated than ever. In NY, God is Money
And many large institutions, pension funds, hedge funds and others are high investors in the #fosssilfuel industry which is devastating the Planet with an enormous, life-threatening #climatecrisis
So, during the 9/11 weeks, it was one of the times of the greatest "CONFUSION" in the United States (which endured for weeks), such as during the Babel Tower incident...
