I literally have no emotional attachment to 9/11 and the events surrounding the attacks. I was on my mission while it happened and I remember the day like it was yesterday.
We get out of a zone conference, (guess what Johnny I was zone leader and assistant) I head to my favorite restaurant in my area to get some great arabic food, the tv in the restaurant is on, I see the Twin Towers burning and the line on the tv reads, 'USA under attack'...
I look to the Elder I was with, say check that out, he looks at it, we look at each other, shrug our shoulders and walk out of the restaurant....
We eat lunch, make no mention of what is going on, start working, tract into a home where the lady asks my companion if he was American, and if he was what he was doing on the street as our country is being attacked, we set an appointment with her, look at each other again, shrug our shoulders and move to the next home...
The next morning I purchase the morning paper, see the imagery of what is going on, show my companion, read the articles, shrug our shoulders and work the whole next day..
While I find the events horrifying, insane, malicious, etc, I find the emotional attachment I feel to it on par with the emotional feelings I have on the great travesties of the past century, I view them as horrible incidents but lack a sense of personal feeling associated with the events.....
Maybe this movie will help me...
