HBO
shows "In
Memoriam"
documentary.
Walking past
Ground Zero
everyday our
grief is for
the buildings
themselves.
There is something
about the
loss of the
towers that
actually kills
the living.
These buildings,
but a few
years old,
that were
supposed to
stand forever
- or at least
outlast and
outshine us
- are gone.
And gone with
them is the
guarantee
that there
could really
be something
greater than
the individual
sum of our
lives. Their
destruction
is a reminder
of our total
irrelevance.
We are nothing,
and even the
things we
make and
the things
we build, will
ultimately
come to nothing.
It’s
a humbling
lesson to
learn. It's
so debilitating
to think how
little we
do really
matters.
