I saw the movie flight 93 last night... for those of you who may not know what it is... its about september 11th and what went on during the hijacking of United Airlines flight 93 before it crashed. Not only did it make me cry, It made me think about how i would have reacted in that absolutely awful situation. The terror those passengers must have felt knowing they were on a suicide mission, and the fact that they all came together for that short period and tried to take back control of the plane, they were remarkably brave people; and heroes for sure. The most gut-wrenching part was when they were calling their families and loved ones form the air-phone, knowing they were going to die, saying goodbyes. It was unbearable.
...and it made me think..how can something like SA hold us all back from being happy and living full lives...life is so short, and if g-d forbid any one of us were in a situation similiar to flight 93, and we somehow survived, would that be cause enough to break us out of our shells? Would being faced with death, make us change the way we think and feel about life. Being in a such a terrifying situation has got to make the fear we feel in social situations soooo much less scary, and really just insignificant. The movie just put things in perspective for me...How do you all feel about this...?
