Again, London was attacked by the anonymous terrorists, the copy cat of the last terror last week. The British seem not to be panic this time. Perhaps, this country had been shaken by the IRA for decades, so the reaction was pretty calm.

I feel` bad for the Londoners. I love London and I am not sure how long this great city will have to bear the fear of being attacked again.

It might be the price the British have to pay for their own leader’s sin to invade Iraq.

My friend called. We talked. Then he told me I should consider moving to the west coast because New York City sooner or later would be the next target. I told him I was aware of that but I did not think of moving anywhere soon.

I am still in love with New York City even though she is such a bitch to me sometimes but I still can put up with the greatest city in the world.

From tomorrow, the New York polices will start randomly searching bags in the subway. The cops will virtually be in every subway station. I am not sure how effective it will be but I think at least psychologically it will help passengers relieve their anxiety or it will create even more anxiety.

Life is fragile. I just watched the CNN news about the Pakistani man who left his home country to escape from terrorism acts just to die in the London Terror last week.

I think about the conversation with my friend. I believe my last day in this beautiful world has been destined since the day I was born. So it does not matter where I will be. When the time comes, just a small piece of dumpling can come between my lung and the air outside. I don’t think to run away is a good idea. If I live my life in fear, those mean spirited people will win.

Of course, I have to be more cautious.

So instead of living in fears, why don’t I just enjoy my life and time I have no matter how long it will be? Why don’t I just value the time I have with someone I love or someone who loves me? Or why don’t I just do something meaningful so that I will not waste my life and regret when my last day in this beautiful world comes?
