Where were you when the planes hit on 9-11? What did you feel that day? How did those feelings change in the following weeks?
I want you to remember that feeling of unity the following couple weeks. How the country stood up together against one thing. Nothing else mattered. All the petty BS went away… even when the media tried to bring it back, we rejected it.
Everyone became patriotic overnight. American flags were everywhere, and everyone smiled at them.
Remember that feeling today. Remember how great it was when everyone stood together.
Try to spread that feeling and go talk to people. If we all look for that one thing in common we can find that one thing that links us.
No matter who you are and who that other person is, we all have more in common than not. If we find that one thing we have in common with someone else, we can build bonds, make friends, and make the world a better place.
This also works for your self-defense. Your friends are more likely to help you and stand with when bad times come. You’ll get involved and help friends, but strangers, or “those” people you might not.
Make friends, make yourself and your family safer, and make the world a better place.
What do you have to lose? Go try it.
