| All of us Americans today, and around the globe, where any Americans can be, know the significance of nine-eleven. It is hard to believe that over five thousands lives were lost in a matter of hours from the devastated act of terrorism ever conducted in the United States on September 11th, 2001. This is where the phase nine eleven originated. What transpired in such a short time was a wake up call of millions across this great land of democracy. A stand tall, the togetherness conducted for the support of all victims of this onslaught of hatred. Is not the act of terrorism a disease of the mind? This psychological disease must be thwarted from the origins of sick minds who demostrate this power to carry out such savage acts, even sacrificing the lives of its own. Brainwash is a term that fits what constitutes the act of unforgiving terrorism in life today around the globe. In the past thirty years (especially), this disease of terrorism has been a threat in all cultures surrounding earth. There is another disease that strikes all mankinds of all cultures. It is a disease that has been around from the beginning of time, and has a form of brainwash called stinking thinking. The disease is alcoholism. I can relate because I have this disease. My mind was brainwashed with stinking thinking for up to twenty-eight years, as I stayed active in the consumption of alcoholic beverages. The direct result of this disease nearly cost my life in sarifice at age 48. However, I was able to stand and join thousands of recovering alcoholics in thwarting the stinking thinking of this disease. In keeping some sanity in perspective, I became to understand and accept the concepts of alcoholism. This article written is not about the comparison of terrorism and alcoholism, but rather, it is the significance of a date that we all should never forget. So, what is the significance of three three? It is my sobriety date, March 3rd, 1998, the last day in which I consumed in the act of drinking an alcoholic beverage. Bingocliff 1/8/03 |
