September 11th,
2008
To some, a date is just
a number. To others, it's a basis for one's existence and virtues.
While September 11th will
always be a living memory to those who witnessed the bombings of the
World Trade Center, it, like other dates, may have other relevance to
your lives on a completely different scale.
Perhaps December 21st, 1948,
was the date one of your parents were born. The frozen Saturday in mid-November
in 1989 could mark the first time you went on a date with your present
wife or husband.
Others could represent moments
in your professional career that hold high significance. April 4th,
2002 - the date when you finally managed to sign on that stubborn client
you've been chasing after for several months.
Or consider July 17th, 1999,
when your company came close to bankruptcy, and Al in Accounting did
a dramatic act to rescue the finances from the deep ocean floor.
Whatever the date, no matter
the year or event, you'll always hold that specific date in high regard
for as long as you are able to remember (or choose to).
How you mark those moments
is what determines their level of importance or how serious the date
is taken. If just a mere mention is all you mustre from it, then it's
not worth the time nor effort.
But if the date serves as
a means to bring people together, either in remorse or positive remembrance,
then the date serves an ultimate purpose: togetherness and strength
of community.
