I am currently reading Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. If you haven't read anything by Mitch, you need to...he's awesome. Here's a lesson from him book that hit me close to home.
"Have I told you about the tension of opposites?" he says.
The tension of opposites?
"Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts yuo, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.
"A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle."
Sounds like a wrestling match, I say.
"A wrestling match." He laughs. "Yes, you could describe it that way."
So which side wins, I ask?
"Which side wins?"
He smiles at me, the crinkled eyes, the crooked teeth.
"Love wins. Love always wins."

Wow, Kenny. That is an awesome insight; unbelievably deep for someone your age. That is just the type of question that we should be posting on this board. Something that will make people think, debate, discuss.
So in response to you, what about September 11th? How does that apply to your thoughts on love? While it seemed to stem from an utter hatred of Americans, didn't it also stem from a love for country?
