Ok, Im just rambling again. Hope you get my drift.

Every time I see security guards at the portals of malls and hotels I just have this flow of sadness sweeping through me and I think, "This does not feel like Amman". But I realize the importance of these champs and I am willing to overlook the uneasiness if it would keep people safe; this reality is so brutal because it offers no alternatives. She, Luck it is, as you said. I agree with you that the "no logic" aspect to it adds to the danger. Silly Bahraini Girl, Welcome to Tololy's Box, I hope you would drop by again. Thank you for your remark and you are quite correct, nobody is immune from death, whatever its shape, but this new terror is a new addition. Moryarti, Allah ysallmak, I appreciate your concern, and Silly Bahraini Girl's. We are very glad those people were caught before they actually manage to carry out their designs. Welcome to my Box, enjoy your stay. Kinzi,

Silly Bahraini Girl,

Welcome to Tololy’s Box, I hope you would drop by again. Thank you for your remark and you are quite correct, nobody is immune from death, whatever its shape, but this new terror is a new addition.

Moryarti,

Allah ysallmak, I appreciate your concern, and Silly Bahraini Girl’s. We are very glad those people were caught before they actually manage to carry out their designs. Welcome to my Box, enjoy your stay.

I've lost track of how many close calls I've had - one bombing at my train station a few minutes after my husband had picked me up, another at the exact same spot by a mall in Tel Aviv where I'd stood exactly 24 hours earlier, etc. The fact that there is no logic adds to the fragility. It's not like crime, where you know that you're chances are higher of being mugged, attacked, or whatever if you are in certain neighborhoods known for high crime rates. You can't take precautions. It's the unpredictability of it all that makes everything so fragile, I think.

I see the 'fragility' of Amman as it's vulnerability of it's geography, a city built on trust that these things would never hit the city. To see barricades go up around hotels and banks is a symbol of what happens in a heart when trust is broken and the fragility of trust is exposed. Tololy, great post.

Isam Bayazidi, to answer you is to go into little metaphorical particulars; I will try to be concise. I think all things are fragile, even if mighty.

I read through your blog post and didn't see you explaining this description.. you indeed proved that life is fragile, but is the city fragile? are the people fragile?
