Ok it can take a lot to make me go wow! I am not the sort of person who easily gets moved by events, I can take them in my stroll quite easily.
One of the events in my life that has moved me is the September 11th 2001 attacks on the United States of America. No matter what you believe, if you think it was terrorists (I know the majority of people do), if you think it was a conspiracy of the USA government of any kind - be it that they did it themselves or there is / was an insider, all that matters was it was a disaster.
This event moved me. It moved everyone. I did not know anyone in involved or have any ties to New York but the absolute devastation I have never seen before in my life and hope never to again.
The reason I post is I was looking on the BBC website about the attacks and saw what I can only describe as (you may find shocking) but beautiful picture:
I can't describe this - there is just something intrinsically beautiful about this picture, I am not sure if it is the way the dust catches the light but it is beautiful. To find that such devastation can lead to beauty is reassuring in my opinion - life is beautiful and nothing is in vain. Life goes on no matter what - so does beauty. So bring it on - what ever any terrorists etc throw at us the beauty of the world will not be taken away.
