From Mary, who made the mistake of clicking on one of those little comment links by each post:
Maybe that’s why I don’t feel scared now. I’ve seen other folks around me over-react to such a degree that they seem to hurt themselves emotionally. And I just want to remind them something I realized back at good ole Pomona College … Life is a near-death experience. How many people died on Tuesday that had no connection to the terrorists? Were their lives less special? How many drunk drivers (a little local evil as opposed to evil that get noticed by Congress) took lives? The most important lesson I can hope that regular everyday Americans take home with them after this experience is – Never take your life for granted.
Words to live by, people.
