Will something eventually happen again?&nbsp;Probably.&nbsp;I mean, things happen. The other day some nutcase shot a bullet through a third-floor window at the Hospital for Special Surgery.&nbsp;That&#8217;s three blocks from here, and somebody was actually in the room and got cut with the glass.&nbsp;And a few years ago a small plane hit a building two blocks from ours. It wasn&#8217;t terrorists, just a terrible accident. Last night I went for Chinese food with my friend Walter and had terrible indigestion after. I&#8217;d like to blame ISIS or Al-Qaida, but so far no one has claimed responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen, things happen in life.&nbsp;Sometimes they&#8217;re bad. Sometimes they happen to people we love and places we call home. But it&#8217;s important to remember that when something bad happens anyplace in the world, it&#8217;s to someone people love and someplace people call home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When people ask me, and they do ask me, what your life is like in Helsinki, I always say that the schools are better, the health care is better, and it&#8217;s an easy city to get around. And, if you can get past the impossible language, the big plus is that nobody wants to bomb Helsinki. \u2026Except, wait a second now, didn&#8217;t I recently read about two crazy (or very angry) people who wanted to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.helsinkitimes.fi\/finland\/finland-news\/domestic\/9811-iltalehti-two-suspected-of-planning-a-bomb-attack-on-university-of-helsinki.html?ref=uutiskirje\">bomb downtown Helsinki<\/a>? Perhaps you should move. Or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I say, if you can&#8217;t beat &#8217;em, at least don&#8217;t waste your life worrying about &#8217;em. So take a chill pill and stop obsessing about things you can&#8217;t do anything about. In other words, read less news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love,\nMom<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Lissu, Here&#8217;s the thing.&nbsp;Most of us New Yorkers just go on about our business.&nbsp;The terrorists want us to be terrorized.&nbsp;I prefer not to be.
