Are you used to your everyday to day business?

After 9/11, the mutual goal of everyone seemed to be 'We must gte back to our lives, our everyday to day lives'. Or something along those lines. Do you ever stop and think, and actually think, "What if 'it' happens?"

What if a life changing, society changing, world changing event is happening. After typing that, I think it already has happened. And the only thing we had to do was go back to our everyday lives. But what if one day getting back to your everyday life isn't a possibility. And your dreams, your family/friend's dreams, your children's dreams, all that faith you had in something... will be changed.

Now predicting what will happen is impossible, I'm sure of that. But what will you do when the day comes and you say to yourself, "It's happening."

You don't know, and that's horrifying.

[edit: Example, the day your government can't defend you]

I know. Life changing, at the least.

ask any of your grandparents who lived through the great depression. things changed and there was nothing the govt could do, and thier parents couldnt just go back to day to day living. lives were changed. ask someone from another country, like a vietnamese immigrant who was there when saigon fell, or a jewish person who lived through wwII and the concentration camps.
in the event of similar adversity, some people will live, some people wont.
either way, you have your answer.

True, but this is generally towards North Americans(U.S. & Canadia)
