Friday the 13th night. Paris suffered the worst terrorist attack after the war. The area near the attack site was a hangout for young people who were sensitive to fashion. Many of the spring and autumn were sacrificed by Parisians and Parisienne.
The next morning, you must refrain from going out unnecessarily due to a state of emergency. Food shopping is essential on weekends, as Manatee families don't want to eat (except for me). "What should I do?", The nearby supermarket is open when viewed from the window. I never went out.
However, every shop is open, and as usual, residents carry shopping bags and walk, and have tea on the cafe terrace. "What is this?" Are you scared or just dull? But no matter what the government says, it is the French who act at their own convenience.
It wasn't. Living in fear of terrorism is what they want. Living the usual daily life was to declare that the citizens were not succumbing to the threat of terrorists.
During the invasion of Prussia in the 19th century and the Nazis in the 20th century, the citizens of Paris fought at their own discretion, not by government order. There is also the tradition of the 18th century French Revolution. I felt like I was prepared to live in Paris.
Paris is the only city in the world that can be proud of as the "city of flowers". Good bees and butterflies are not the only ones that flock to sweet nectar. Some are poisonous insects, and some birds catch them.
It is a city where people's hopes gather and dreams come true. The stronger the light, the deeper the shade. Terrorism does not suit beautiful rural landscapes not only because there are few people, but also because the desires and ambitions of human life such as politics and economy are weak.
Some of the choices to live in the city include the poison of pleasure. The joy is extremely sad, and you may have to take responsibility as a price to enjoy the joy. However, how much courage has given human beings to dream and to fulfill their hopes.
As one of the citizens of Paris, I would like to be enthusiastic. Please keep an eye on me, everyone.
