Am I the only one who is having a hard time not crying at work? I know people deal with grief and depression in different ways, but come on! I know there is something universal about them or else there wouldn't be anthems of information about sadness and loss the Psychology/Psychiatry fields. I'm having a hard time controlling my emotions. Shell-shocked is a good word to describe how I feel. I purposely didn't go to NYC on New Year's Eve 1999 - New Year's Day 2000 because, although at the time I joked, I thought any terrorist who is ANY terrorist will be in NYC for the ringing in of the new Millennium (though not technically the new millennium) because of the massive-destruction potential. Nothing happened, though I heard rumors that there were thwarted terrorist plots for New Years. My god. After my initial shock melted, I quaked with angry and felt like we should bomb the hell out of everyone! I'm angry! - hell, we all are obviously, but I hope the powers that be have some sense NOT to do this out of shaky resolve. PLEASE don't go to war arbitrarily, don't retaliate just yet. It's senseless. I know some retribution is necessary - it's called justice, not random targeting and killing.
