London news

[avrelia]

It is strange to see all my flist united in writing about one topic.

I am glad that my friends and freinds of my friends are okay. I feel for those who aren't.

You think you get hardened and cynical, getting used to calling friends and relatives and asking them whether everyone is alive. No. Every time it hits as the first one. You are feeling angry and helpless and hopeless, and some more angry. Then you are happy that you are alive and grieve for those who are not. Then the life goes on - because that what life does, and you sleep at night, and go to subway, and take the planes to travel somewhere.

Modern cities are vulnerable. Unfortunately I don't see a way to live terrorism-proof, unless to live in a bunker. or fight terrorism, except that I don't know how to do it successfully either.

It hurts, feeling vulnerable and small and helpless. That was the terrorists are going for, of course. I don't think they should win in that - or everything else.
