@Itstubro I’m not arguing here, the whole point of this Q was I was curious what people think when they think never forget, or as my friend said, we have to remember, so I don’t see any reason to argue with anyone’s opinion.
What I understand from your answer is you think of it similar to a “moment of silence” for the dead. Remembering those who suffered and died. Plus, you talked about your memories of that day, what you “witnessed” even if it was witnessed via the television. I also talked about my memories regarding that day on another Q, I have a lot of memories from that day (you named some of the same ones I have) and even many days later I have memories of terrible events that continues to happen related to the towers falling. But, remembering the horror of it isn’t what I relate to “never forgetting.” I think of what is the “lesson” from the event as @janbb put it. I’d rather rid my mind of the details I think. Similar to how I don’t watch all the holocaust stuff, I know enough about how terrible it is, I don’t need to know more.
But, as I said, I’m not trying to change how you think of it, I find all the answers here interesting. It’s a lesson for me (again) to never assume, and how communication is so complicated.
