Sorry for that post yesterday, and thanks to those who tried to see tings from my point of view.

Maybe I over reacted, I feel really bad too for what happened, and for the first time in my life I am for the death penalty, the people that are behind this do not deserve to live, because they don't respect life themselves.

In about an hour all Europe is going quiete... we are keeping a 3 minute silece for those who died, for those who are suffering, for those who are helping.

Here is the mail that was sent to my fiance from the CEO of his company this morning.
 
---------------------------------------------------
Details: On Tuesday, the whole world was shocked to see how thousands lost their lives when hijacked planes crashed on both the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon. To commemorate the victims of this useless violence, the European Union has announced that today will be an international day of mourning.
 
Three minutes of silence will therefore be held in the whole company bewteen 12.00h and 12.03 h. The ending and beginning of this minute will be marked by a short fire alarm signal (where possible).
 
So please cease your activities for three minutes to share this moment of
silence.

---------------------------------------------------

Yesterday we went to visit Patrick's parents, it was good, I hadn't leave the appartment since the 11th, it was nice to see that despite we are all sad, life goes on. It was nice to laugh again over the dinner table, it was nice to talk again about a future without including the word war in the subject.

Today I have to go to the university, they are telling the results for the exams, I am afraid I have failed, most of my grades are really high and I reach the minimun average, but there is still one result I haven't got and if I get a low grade there I don't know what will happen, well we will see.

This morning I told Patrick how stupid I felt about being worried for my exams when there are bigger things to worrie about on the other side of the world. But as he told me, bouth things are important, and I should be worried about both, one does not make the other less important, one is my worrie for the world, and the other one is my worrie for myself, and in different context they should be both of them as important for me. That made me feel way better.

Well as I said before life goes on, and it has to be lived in the best way possible, but now praying for those who are in NY and Washington has become part of my dairy life as well.

No need to apologise for voicing your own opinion on your own blog - that's what they're for.

And neither is there any need to apologise for being concerned about other things than the events in America! Your exam results are imposrtant to what road your life takes next, and if you don't worry about them I'm damn sure that nobody else is going to... !

Hope your exam results are better than you hope for!

thank you for the kind words...unfortnately, there are people that don't feel the way you do.  Go back to my site and read all the comments that are under my prayer and you'll see what I mean.   I decided to address my new entry just for him.

Of course you have to worry about "trivial" things...  In spite of everything, life does not stop just because something "bigger" has happened.  Wouldn't it be all too simple if it did?

The three minutes silence was a very touching moment...  Except when a passenger kept demanding loudly for the first ten seconds "hey - why's everyone gone quiet?  What's happening?"   Oh dear!  You do get themmm
