For instance, you have more chance of winning a lottery than of being killed in a bomb blast - anywhere in the world. Also, I look at it this way...people still ride on the London Underground, they still work in central New York. Life has to go on. Who is to say Phuket or Fiji is not the next terrorist site? Look at how many people crowd into an Australian sportsground. My own country has major gatherings of people and how could I be certain that security measures are secure enough? I will be going back to Bali. I will not live in fear of what could be and let it rob me of something that gives me real joy. Real joy is very precious...some people live their whole lives in shadows never knowing what it feels like. I know Bali is that important to me..because of the depth of my grieving now for those who were killed and those who will suffer in the future as a result of these lunatic acts.
