Every time I see a photo of pre-9/11 lower Manhattan, I experience the same sadness. Sadness at how much we've lost. Not just the buildings, not only the people who died there, but everything else that we, as a nation, have lost. The skyline of New York will continue to be impressive, no matter what is built on the site. And we have found a way to "go on". But there will always be a divide between what we were before the attacks, and what we became afterwards. And it pains me to be on this side of it.

Stumble It!
