terror struck paris yesterday. and it didn't feel good to read of the many lives lost. but admittedly, and on the other hand, i felt somewhat nonchalant about it. yup, its probably not right to say this, but i actually felt a little numbed by the frequent wanton killings by the terrorist. i can expect the usual condemning, outpouring of grieve, of condolences, of heightened security, etc in the days to come. and when things eventually calm down, life will go on. until... another mass killing occurs.
but for now, let's remember the victims of these attacks. that is the least we can do as individuals, given our inability to help in other ways. to me, this is not a religion-related war, no religion will accept killing of innocent lives so blatantly as what i had seen over the last few years. these are wars waged by idiots who abuse the teachings of islam for their own selfish benefits and executed by misguided individuals.
it is during times like this that bimbotic answers such as "world peace" given by contestants during miss universe pageants sound most meaningful.
sighs.
