I was not sure that I was up to watching the 10th Anniversary of 9/11, but found myself glued to the TV.  I remembered the overwhelming feeling of sadness when I visited the site of the Twin Towers from a platform several years ago. Yesterday's televised view of the reflecting pools and the names inscribed made me remember that, it is not about the loss of lives but the remembrance of their lives.

In the Asian culture, they believe in celebrating the life of those who have passed away by remembering just how lucky they were to have known them.  I think that even if you did not lose a friend or relative during the 9/11 attack, visiting the memorial will give all of us a sense of belonging to all the families who did.
