Does ''commemorating'' a specific event have the same connotation as ''memorializing'' said event? Do people go too far with regard to sensationalizing certain kinds of TRAGIC occurrences ? Painful , Horrible CALAMITIES.... indelibly etched into their souls,,,, regardless of POMP or CIRCUMSTANCE.... When does DRAMA warrant its own ''sacred verarcity'' ? And when is ENOUGH ENOUGH ? Is there a ''statute of limitations'' on pain ? Do we WANT to REMEMBER the details ? Does remembering make it BETTER ? Does remembering PRECLUDE it from RE OCCURRING ? Should we build MONUMENTS as a reminder of the TRAGEDY ? or,,, Are TWO, STOIC BEAMS OF LIGHT so much more POIGNANT and POWERFUL ? Of course, the people who perished should be MEMORIALIZED and CELEBRATED and MOURNED.... But... Should the EVENT be treated in the same PROFOUND manner ? Do people simply go TOO FAR ?
