We need to consider how our priorities may have been affected after that ghoulish day twenty-four years ago.

Has our worldview expanded, or changed?  Is it for the better?  

Did we switch occupations, leaving Corporate America behind, and are now in positions where we help others have better lives?  Perhaps we didn’t leave Corporate America, but became advocates by using our position to create policies that improve the quality of life for others.

What about our attitudes toward others?  Do we view people as fellow citizens on this earth, or now view people outside our group (whatever “group” means to the reader) as enemies?  Hopefully, the former, not the latter, for positive mental and emotional health!

Did we become more religious, or suddenly turn away from God?

Do we no longer take life for granted and live each day to the fullest that we can because we understand that tomorrow is not guaranteed?

It would take an incredibly unusual person to claim NOT to have been affected by the events twenty-four years ago.
