Bonjour!
I am in France currently soaking up the sun and trying not to feel too sad or scared by the upsurge of terrorist activities plaguing the country. The unfortunate attacks that are taking place globally have somewhat become routine. For some, it’s not until it strikes home that they truly understand and feel the pain of such events.
I imagine that’s why it’s perceived as miserable, livable circumstances and people sometimes tend to move on quickly; or perhaps it’s the fact that we don’t even have a choice to sit and ponder on our emotions because before you know it, there is another one.
We have grown so accustomed to the Facebook country filters to show solidarity and sharing of the trending news articles that our actions are almost predictable. Sometimes I question the authenticity of it all. The consistency of the violence has become part of us, however horrifying it may be.
