life is dangerous.
it is, you can't deny it.
tomorrow you can go outside and get hit by a truck. and die.
i don't know that september 11,2011 changed my life. sure, friends have gone to iraq. some have come home and gone back again and again. others never made it back.
air travel? just short of a full body check every.single.time i enter the u.s.a.
delinquency is rampant in santiago, lately. people are killing and not being punished and... in a amoral society, where number one rules, what happens? people are scared. it's reminiscent of september 11 and how people wouldn't leave their houses.
if i've learned anything from that tragic day it's that we never know what tomorrow holds. hold your plans for the future loosely and try to live for today. because it might be terrorists hi-jacking an airplane to kill the will of a country, or it might be a desperate kid trying to make his life just a little more comfortable - it can happen to anyone.
i'm remembering today all of those friends who never made it home. and praying for those who took lessons in fear that day.
