I am an apolitical, jaded little fuck. But this moved the hell out of me. Maybe it's just the words, which mirror my state of mind nowadays. But that's what I tend to do: take a national tragedy and turn it back to me, me, me. Must run in the family. I had dinner with my religious brother right after 9/11 and told him how scared I felt on that day. He responded by saying he thought "Oh boy, I might get to go to heaven today!" I thought but didn't say "What if all of this isn't about you?" I should probably follow my own advice.
