Migraine

[jchrisobrien]

I must have passed on commenting in about five different people's journals about the bombing and our reactions to them. I read them, and feel a comment starting to rise, and then I just don't bother. I'm not going to change anyone's mind, I'm not going to have any bigger impact on the situation at hand. All that's going to happen is I'll get in an argument with people, and stir up more friction.

But burying my head in the sand won't help matters either.

And I'm finding it hard to write about my own feelings because I'm not sure what I should feel about all of this, what I do feel about it? All it takes is one well worded argument and I sway to that way of thinking, only to sway back again at the next convincing argument.

I don't know what we should do. And I should at least have a clue, a guess. Something.

Back to reading, and looking for my resolve...

land of confusion

I understand how you feel. I'm upset, depressed, crying far too often... and I don't have any answers. I'm confused... I don't think that terrorists should be out there, free to kill again. But I also don't think wholesale slaughter of more innocents is the answer. I feel my hippy upbringing doing battle with rage and horror in my skull, and the nausea rises in my throat.

I have no answers.

I'm watching friends snarl at each other. I'm watching peaceful candlelit vigils turn into something uglier, into mobs of angry people roaming the streets.

For the record, please say anything you wish in response to anything I say in my journal - if I don't agree, I will debate it with you, but I won't get offended and take it personally, I have witnessed far too much of that going on around me.

*hugs*
