Rise above fear-mongering
Terrorists, our government, and germ commercials manipulate us through fear. Only we individuals can reclaim our courage. Life is risk, weigh relative dangers: hurricanes, chance of being killed by a terrorist, domestic violence, car accidents, heart attacks.
Then, get proactive. Begin to work on solutions to injustice and hopelessness feed frustration and rage. Creating hope and justice is much harder than dropping bombs, but we went to the moon, didn't we? Hard is not an excuse.
