Well said. The whole point of terrorism is to make people scared. Yes, fear is gonna happen, but when it lingers, and people start thinking that it might happen to them, then they stop doing things they normally wouldn't think twice about. Essentially, it disrupts everyday life, which is EXACTLY what the terrorists hope will happen. What everyone is doing by being afraid/paranoid and changing their everyday routine is giving the terrorists what they want.
I refuse to give this to them. I would encourage everyone else to do the same, but I can't live anyone's life but my own.
