It's Not About You
by noteworthy at 2:08 pm EST, Jan 1, 2005

The meaning of this event is that there is no meaning. Humans are not the universe's main concern.

The world's generosity has been amazing, but sometimes we use our compassion as a self-enveloping fog to obscure our view of the abyss. It's wrong to turn this event into a good-news story so we can all feel warm this holiday season. It's wrong to turn it into a story about us, who gave, rather than about them, whose lives were ruined.

This is a moment to feel deeply bad, for the dead and for those of us who have no explanation.
