The Real New York
The real New York are those millions of people that get up in the morning and fill the canyons of steel, concrete and glass, known as the streets of Manhattan. The street vendor at the corner selling hot dogs, the Chinese resorateur making his "hot and sour" soup, the shoe cleaner at a shining hotel, the taxi driver from Ghana who supports a huge family back home, presidents, ministers and ambassadors at the UN, the billionaire for whom money has long stopped being a goal, they all courageously go about their daily work. Floating through the streets of Manhattan in this river of people of all colours, ethic origin and religions, you lose the sense of personal importance but gain a sense of individual human dignity and common humanity. Amidst this tremendous effort of millions of hearts trying to make their dreams come true - destruction. But the will of New Yorkers will prevail, because it is not about two monumental buildings that this is all about - it is about life itself.
