Terrorism has only effected me by means of watching the aftermath on the tv,ive had no direct link with the actual events and although it touches me whilst im watching it , i move on but now maybe because im getting older that when i travel to london,get on the underground, hanging around airports and whilst actually on the plane and also when i visited Istanbul it was always on my mind "am i going to be in the wrong place at the wrong time?"
it no way stops me from doing what i want or going to where i want to go but in the above mentioned places i get a sense of uneasiness knowing that i am in or on something that has been attacked in the past.
I strongly believe in fate when you times up its up but does anyone else think like i do?
my feelings are a bit contradicitve , im not scared but just have this underlying sense if uneasiness

Kind Regards

I don't think it's healthy to be preoccupied with the risk of terror. As Robyn says, the risk is minimal and if it happens you can't do anything about it but hope that it won't happen. The security in airports is crazy at the moment, you can't even bring a bottle of water because it may be chemicals to make a bomb If the terrorists really want to hurt people, it's not easy to stop them, but one should, of course, always keep the eyes open for suspecious looking people.
Concerning the risk of terrorism in Turkey, I'm not worried at all because again, the risk is very small. Once in Hakkari I woke up in the middle of the night because I heard a loud sound and it turns out it was a shop nearby that was bombed. Nobody really reacted to it, so I didn't either.

It effected my life but I don't let it get in the way of my life. If anything it taught me to live life to the full because you don't know whats going to happen next
So yes it did effect me and when I see or hear something that reminds me of it, I don't feel scared or any uneasiness, I just thank God I am still here

I also pay my respects to those who lost their lives, especially the ones who tried to help others. If I feel anything I feel angry/sad at times because to know what people can do to destroy peoples lives is unreal nowadays.
And I am not just talking about the people who died, the people close to them too - family, friends, colleauges etc.

Unfortunatly like robin said we cannot do anything about it when we are in that situation but like I said I just pray to God that the people I love and myself are still alive.

since when being attacked by terrorists became normal? since when terrorism became normal?
and since when it became comparable to the being hit by cars?
