I see no reason to be pissed off about something over which you have no control. I'm not saddened by the events because it's the kind of shit that happens in the world today. It's just never happened on this scale or in our country.
I think in many ways it was a good thing that this happened. Not that so many innocent people died, but that we finally realize we are not above the rest of the world. We too can and will be attacked.
Think about a boxer that's trained his whole life, he's undefeated and always kicks his opponents' asses. Then one day, he gets in a street fight and a kid half his size kicks him in the ballies and proceeds to stomp the everlovin' shit out of him.
You can't allow yourself to be lulled into thinking your the best and nobody can fuck with you, because that's just when someone will fuck with you.
