These are events that involved tough decisions and many lives lost. To now acknowledge that these events took place is not only short-sighted, but disrespectful.
It seems so many young people today like to live under the belief that the world didn't really exist before they achieved self-awareness

I didn't say those events didn't change anything. Things like WW2 for example shaped our lifes. THAT was a big event. 9/11, in comparison, is almost nothing. I would almost say a footnote.
(I repeat, yes 9/11 is terrible and I feel sorry for the victims, but if you compare it with other events in history or the war today in the middle east then it's not big)
Believe me, you (people) don't know me at all. As a matter of fact almost nobody understands me in real life.
People at my old school/schools don't understand me, my colleagues don't understand me and think I'm weird, my friends including my best friend don't understand me, many people I talk with about large and important issues or spiritual and paranormal things don't understand me. I know exactly why many young people have a completely different look at the world, but I don't know if it's appropriate to say. Anyway, the lack of understanding people towards us is something I've learned to live with.
