Freedom is not free. In fact, freedom is one of the most expensive social products ever produced or consumed by mankind. Freedom takes a forged society that soundly believes in the values of equality, compassion, education and trust. Six years ago, we were all struck by a vicious attack by those who dismiss these fundamental values we embrace. As the towers collapsed, the rumble shook our deepest beliefs in god, man, good and evil.
As I take a moment today to reflect on the events of that terrible day, I do not ask myself any political or religious questions. I do not look for blame, mistakes, conspiracies or heroes. I only look deep in, and try to imagine the world six years from now. I ask myself, am I doing anything today to change tomorrow? Am I resolved to pay the price, so that my children will continue to nurture and develop this thing we all call Freedom?
