No One Is Innocent

I was reading something about 11 September the other day in class discussing about the airline industry. Does it still make you sad? I hate recalling those horrible scenes. I've never thought it before but there are two kinds of people in the world.

We're angry about terrorists killing innocent civilian, but who's innocent and who's not? How about those terrorists? They probably couldn't be more ordinary than us before they crushed the plane. Terrorism won't work and can't be tolerated but their voice should be heard. The way they're using is wrong, but they definitely have their rights to choose their life and belief. If in a way they're trying to express their anger to the world and telling people they're not afraid of the American power, then they're kind of 'innocent' to me. How many people, families will be affected or even killed by simply an IMF (International Monetary Fund)'s foreign aid policy in a developing country? In this case who's innocent and who's not?

There are two kinds of people in the world whether they're innocent or not. People who don't respect and care about others lives, and people who do; People who crush the plane, killing many others and people who rushed into the World Trade Centre to save others. No one is innocent in a way. We couldn't walk away from certain systems or the society. The environmental protesters can't completely avoid using papers, fuel or stop consuming. I'm against the exploitation of global economic but I can't say no to brands like Nike using cheap labour from developing countries.

Well how did I come to this? From 9/11 to exploitation? Anyway, Just some random thoughts here.
