following dreams?

[gurdonark]

In the article today about rising grad and professional school apps, a Ms. Stacy Heenan discusses that she is going to professional school because, paraphrasing, September 11 taught her that life is too short, and one has to follow one's dreams.

I know many of us paused at length in the wake of this tragedy to think "life is too short" and draw close those around us.

But does anyone think that they're using the aftermath as a spur to pursue their dreams?
I just don't know.

I see so much post-9/11 kitsch, it's difficult to even write about it. Knowing how my family has dealt with the loss makes all of the post-disaster talk seem as cheap as ever. I never thought I'd resent the US flag, but seeing it on every car/designer store/infant in the nation makes a circus of a tragedy; ever a danger in a highly media oriented society. It was like everybody needed a piece of tragedy to emphasize their own largely anonymous lives.


I totally agree...
