Everyone who was alive, knows where they were on this day in 2001. It ranks higher than the Kennedy Assassination, Man on the Moon, even the passing of Elvis.
It even outweighs the day of infamy at Pearl Harbor.
Of the four events I mentioned, only one is joyous. We recall the horrors of our life, and I am no exception.
The events of September 11 2001 changed the world, and my path on this world. With hindsight now, I can pinpoint that moment as the change in my professional life, which subsequently resulted in my immigration to the United States.
After the events of September 11, there was nothing I could do to help those, but, with the skillset I had previously acquired, I could help those going forward. Even if those going forward, number just one.
As the Covid 19 situation in California continues to contain me in my residency, as tend to someone who cannot, or should not, venture outside. Additionally, the California Wildfires place a heavier burden with reduced air quality. Again, as I tend to someone who cannot, or should not, venture outside.
Sometimes the service we provide is not for the betterment of all, but for the preservation of the one.
