It has taught me to appreciate terrorism for the good that it can bring. After all, Nelson Mandela was a terrorist once too.
It has taught me to appreciate our world today, pitted against the craziness of history and the past. (Josefs and Josephs of the world forgotten, continue rotting in hell. Josef Fritzl, you will join them.)
And so on. I have been incentivized to keep up with current affairs even after As.
