It was a night just like any other.
Then it stood alone.

There's been so much coverage about the gun battles, the grenades, the hostages, but there's been no talk about the impact. All they say is, this is the city that never sleeps. The city with a spirit that cant be broken. The resilience of its people is paraded to the world. Disaster upon disaster strikes the city, and yet the city continues to live, to breathe, and move on.

Why? Not because she can, but because she has to. Its not like she has a choice. A city as bustling as this one, if it stops, its as good as time standing still. And time cant stand still, especially not here. How long can this continue? The people tire, the city bleeds, and lies in a mess.

The tv talks about the spirit. The politicians talk about coming together. The people are just tired, and angry. Talking to friends, I can see their blood boil. The biggest question is "WHY? What do they want? And how do they achieve it by doing this?"

I dont see any sense in trying to ratioalise it, however. Their thought process is just different. They can justify it based on their ideas. To them, like many others, the ends justify the means. There is no real way to see what runs in their mind. There is not much we can do.

No, I'm not saying we just give up and just absorb this. We cant. It will destroy us all. I dont have the answers, I just know anger is what they want, and it serves no purpose.

It was a night just like any other.
