Hello everyone...
I just wanted to quick take a minute and respond to this posting as I
found it interesting and informative, and quite applicable to the events
that have taken place in recent months that occupy much of the worlds'
attention.

The tragic events of September 11th will undoubtedly remain in the minds
of many in this world for some time to come. Such events affect everyone
in different ways, and everyone has their own distinct way of handling
particular circumstances, but keeping the tension bottled up does more
harm than good. This is clearly pointed out in the above paragraphs, and
I believe that it is very true that not taking the time and making the
effort to deal with issues on an individuals' mind, is quite unnatural.
Bottling tensions up is a bad habit that many people have, I know I am
guilty of doing it myself, however it only makes life more stressful,
which can eventually lead to conflict and unpleasant results. So please
everyone take the time and make yourself empty, and help make the world a
better place.
