Yeah... it's terribly sad.. some people seem to be immune to scenes like that (or they pretend to be) and that's sad too...

sorry to hear about your friend
... it's so sad isn't it? agree with you totally - it doesn't matter what scale it is! it's people! no matter what race, country, religion ... and I personally can never get used to these horrific scenes ... the shitty thing is that there's very little we can do!

Re: Really sad, wherever it may happen, and its happening all over, ophelia
I agree.. completely - wherever things like this happen, it's all terribly sad.. whether it's one person dying or thousands.. at the time, in my online journal, I had a few friends from one other country who made jokes all day about the bombs in London. I think they thought they were being 'cool' by showing how little anything like that mattered to them, but they also thought and said that it wasn't important because it was on such a 'small scale' compared to 9/11. I thought that was horrible... it shouldn't be (I don't think anyway) where it happens, how it happens, how many people die, that makes it 'matter' - it all matters. I had sat and cried and cried when 9/11 happened, we had memorial services and one minute silences here - most of us did care (and still do), but I found it quite shocking (I must be naive) to see how some people reacted when the bombings happened here. Some people even said it didn't matter because we're already 'used' to it with all the IRA bombings from a few years ago. Just not true.
I posted this because I was thinking about the woman I knew - and how strange that day had been. It feels different I guess when it's so close to home and your life is actually changed, even if it's mostly just for that one day - although the underground disruption went on for months. And it feels different when someone you know died...
It's all sad.
