This week
was like a horror movie.
I usually
never check Internet when I am in my office
I heard
about Charlie Hebdo attack at work, late in the afternoon. My heart sank. For a
second, I felt I had lost something. I had to let go of this feeling as I was
with my team.
I am not a
reader of this magazine, but I have heard about the journalists and their way
to express their ideas. I don’t always agree with them.
Back home, I
saw the images on TV.
And it went
on sadly for 3 more days, with more dead. News on radio and TV were the same.
As I write
these lines, I reflect on that feeling of loss I had when I heard about the
attack for the first time.
It is like
something was lost. I can’t pinpoint it. Maybe a sense of security. That
lighter days are gone… I don’t know…
Can we say these
attacks are all over? People around me fear it may only be a beginning.
Living
nearby Paris, I can feel the tension. Our everyday life is not the same.
But still we
don’t want our fears to guide us.
There are
people gathering and marches every day.
That is our
way non violent way to stand.
Let us
respect our differences.
This is our wealth.
