There were numerous times during the first 4 months of this year when I just thought [or even said aloud]: "Wow, I feel like I am witnessing something so important that my kids and grandkids will talk about it in their history classes!" I'm sure they will. I mean, seriously, aren't you thinking the same thing?? All this change, the violence, the threats, the economic crisis - yes, even the fall of a certain German minister being an alleged cheater [academics, folks- not sex... but then again, where exactly is the difference? Whoa, my friend SARCASM just woke up!].
And then, today- or last night, US special forces killed Bin Laden.
I highly doubt that this will be the last historic event of 2011. Honestly, I think things are going to be more than ugly now. I understand that for Americans the capture and death of this guy is like a holiday and will help to give peace of mind to a lot of them. But ... you can't truly believe that this will be it.
I am so undecided about this whole matter because my fear of what will happen now is far bigger than any possible joy I could feel. I am praying for all of us, especially for the United States and its people.
I am praying that we will all live to read future history books and that 2011 will not be marked as one of the most horrible and dark years of world history.
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this- please comment! :)
PS: I am NOT trying to make things worse than they are. I am just writing what is going on in my head. I, too, am satisfied that Bin Laden is finally caught. But I am just afraid it won't change a thing but make matters worse.
