[QUOTE="Andy, post: 370387, member: 5096"] Very inspiring! This family is protraying victory over a very terrible time in the world's history. Dancing for the right reason of showing strength in overcoming an injustice is very acceptable. Not much unlike all the wonderful music that was written after 911 that instilled strength and unity of our nation. I would guess those that are offended have very personal wounds from the tragedy and are still offended by even seeing the buildings or hearing the accounts of the events. Their offense goes up immediately and they are unable to listen or watch further to see if the words or actions are meant to strengthen the survivors. Once their wounds are healed enough, they may be able to see this for the good it is. A wedding dance, a street dance, or any other dance done on those grounds for any reason other than to address the strength of the nation who survived would be offending. Let the people dance to celebrate the end of a terrible time in their family's lives and the fact that they did survive. I am sure their hearts are still crying for those who did not survive - a burden they will carry all their lives. It is good that they do have something to celebrate. Life is about sadness and victory. Which one you dwell on and how you address each of these will determine your strength. Complete sadness will bring about a defeatist attitude and you feel alone and defenseless but recognizing a victory will bring across strength and you see and feel others joining in - you are not alone. Everyone needs strength if we are to continue to overcome evil actions in the world. [/QUOTE]
