The Lion's Den

Still Upset over 9/11

Over the weekend I watched Bowling for Columbine (2002) and became very upset at various parts during the movie. I am not sure exactly why other than because the filmmakers were trying to get an emotional reaction out of me. Today the lunchtime conversation with my co-workers turned to the attacks on Sept 11 2001 and I again became quite upset. Just thinking about that day bothered me so much that I had to leave the lunchroom and then the building. I have the feeling that walking away is equitable to ignoring a problem and that there is something there I need to ruminate on and come to terms with, but I also believe that at work is probably not the best place for that bit of self-exploration. When the time comes I should re-read The Lion's Den: Why 2001 was an upsetting year. and see what I learn but that time is not today.
