Go on, plan a life, plan a future. And one day some brainwashed lunatic comes along and blows you to smithereens. You respond to violence with violence the answer to which is even more violence. And more. And more. How do you break this vicious circle? It's like an avalanche that can't be stopped. How do you deal with madness in a civilized way? Is that even possible?

I was on the metro a couple of hours ago. And the whole time I couldn't help thinking "What if it explodes right now?" As of today that is a possibility not so unimaginable.

It's not that I'm afraid to die. Not exactly. But I am afraid of dying slowly and painfully.
