What are 911 reasons for world peace to be someone else's problem?

Question

On the fifth anniversary of the tragic events of 9/11, I am compiling a list of possible reasons why world peace is very often perceived to be “someone else's problem.” I was a former company director in Tower 1 and lost several friends that day. As I survey the past five years, it seems that while most people are “concerned” about world peace, they are going about their personal lives just as they did on 9.10.01, as if nothing actually happened.

Hence the question: What are 911 reasons for world peace to be someone else's problem?

Answer 1

I think most of us feel that we are separate entities, alone and powerless to effect the world around us. I greatly empathize with your loss of friends and what catastrophe must have occurred in the world around you that awful day. I was watching, in disbelief, from Colorado while drinking my morning coffee. It is a terrible shame that it was handled, publicly, the way it was, for it only seemed to reinforce everyone's feeling of isolation and insecurity. We have to someday realize we are all sharing the same mind, feelings, consciousness and planet before we will conduct ourselves with constructive power and purpose. We all add to the violence and it needs to stop. If we each one of us stop it, then we might also do the same thing among nations, as they are only an extension of ourselves. Right now, there are too many with an interest in keeping it otherwise, reinforcing our present feelings. I believe when we wake up, that will all change. My best to you Michaelsan
