9/11: Where were you when Islamic terrorists attacked us? Is 30:25–26
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "In my junior year of high school. I was in my media technology class and we were one of two classes in a school of six thousand that watched the entire thing unfold....it was heart wrenching and I didn't know Messiah at that point."
Did you seek him them? Or did it take a few more years? Deut 4:29.

Response to comment [from other]: "Lived in NYC at the time. Worked in mid-town Manhattan at the time. Fortunately, I didn't feel well that day and decided to stay home and therefore watched the events unfold on TV. Currently, I live in PA and still work in Manhattan. My family and I moved out of NYC in 2004."

Response to comment [from a Christian]: [Bigbang123 quote: "Life would be boring without tragedy and comedy. We need both."] "I would say that according to Ecclesiastes 3:4 a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance..."
Do you talk this way at funerals?
"Now we find Solomon seeking satisfaction in fatalism:
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the
heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up
that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build
up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to
embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace [Eccl.
3:1–8].
This is Solomon’s viewpoint as he expresses it. In our day we hear the
expression, “Take life as it comes.”
There is “a time to get, and a time to lose.” You played the stock market, and
you lost your money. Well, that’s the way it was to be.
You were a traveling man away from home, and a certain woman was easy to get,
and you invited her up to your room. Your philosophy was that there is “a time
to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing.” Taking life as it comes is a
philosophy of fatalism." McGee, J. Vernon: Thru the Bible Commentary. electronic

"[N]o, but I have seen some people, ever so briefly, even smile briefly at wakes..."
Who is responsible for that? Ps 34:18. We were not created to die (Ge 2:17; Ro 5:12).
