Journal writing prompt: Memory of madness
There is no famous quote today, mostly because I could not find one that “fit” with what I wanted you to consider in your journal. However, don’t let that stop you from journaling!
Today is the 5 year anniversary of a day that effected people worldwide - however, in America, the impact was probably felt even deeper.
I was (and continue to be) terribly disturbed by the knowledge that there are certain news networks (which will remain nameless) who have chosen to replay their live coverage from 5 years ago - in its entirety today. I totally can not understand why anyone would make the decision, and that is what I want you to consider in your journal today.
So, here’s your journal prompt: Is it really necessary for anyone to replay the full coverage of the events of September 11, 2001, uneditted, as it happened? Do you really think anyone has forgotten what happened? Do you want to see the full days coverage again? What purpose does this “replay” serve?
Journal writing prompt bonus: I suspect that most of us remember what we were doing on that day 5 years ago. In your journal, write about it - how did you find out about it? What were you doing? What were your “next steps”? And, more importantly, how did it effect your life then and now?
To journaling,
Dee
