Often times I wonder what the secret is. I mean, there are people out there who seem like they never have anything bad happen to them, and then there are people who seem to live for the suffering. I don't fit into either category. Sometimes I'm happy and sometimes I'm sad and sometimes things seem like they can only get worse. And yet I don't want to do anything crazy because of it. So why do others?
I don't understand how people can become suicide bombers, ya know? Every morning I turn on the tv and see that another Palestinian has blown themselves up and made themselves a "martyr". What's that about? Do they really think killing themselves and others will make the Israeli government go 'duh, what were we thinking?' That's not how it works! And the Israelis aren't any better, 'oh since this crazy militant just blew themselves up and killed 17 innocent people, we should attack the Palestinians."
Violence begets violence. Get the picture.
Children shouldn't worry about dying at a Passover Seder. Children shouldn't worry about dying walking home from school. And yet in Israel, they have to. That's just messed up.
I guess it just scares me a lot. I thought that we'd finally see peace in the Mideast and instead I now feel like I'll never be able to go to Israel and see the country. Because I don't want to be killed by some loony 18 year old when I go to a restaurant or store or Passover Seder.
humph!
