When I first heard about the attacks and saw some news clips featuring survivors discussing their experience, I turned to Eric and said, "If this had happened on the same date last year, that could have been us." And like you, I also felt it a little more because I'm the kind of person who often goes to concerts in small venues. I do agree with what some have said about other horrific acts around the world not getting the same level of coverage, but at the same time, these things made this feel a little more real/relatable for me.

It makes me question how their views of the world could get so twisted to make them do something so horrific.

It's sad to know that there will always be wars and violence, but these acts of terrorism are just beyond any rational thought. All we can do is pray for those who are lost, for those suffering, and for those who are committing these acts, that they may wake up to their own nonsensical actions and stop. lil desiquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702603642296991017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1470970948526381708.post-71043423230445344442015-11-17T09:07:15.048+11:002015-11-17T09:07:15.048+11:00I've been in love with Paris since I was proba...I've been in love with Paris since I was probably about 5 years old.

But every single time I'm amazed by the goodness of humanity that out-shines the violence and hate. I feel like my whole body goes cold when I hear about (mass) violence but it's immediately warmed and rejuvenated by the good people who hold family members of the fallen and often housing and food and love to the people hurting most. Humans surprise me in the most heinous and the most amazing ways all the time.
