It’s morning in Washington, D.C. We are grateful to be safe, and to know that most of our friends are too. Despite all that happened yesterday, and what surely will continue in the days to come, I’m not going to spend any more energy on recent events than to tell you one of the most valuable lessons I learned while getting my degree in foreign service (lol, random, I know). The motivation for terrorism is to spread fear, discord, and disruption, using the violation of peace and safety as a political bargaining chip. Therefore, the only way to combat the use of terrorism is to be unrelenting in our fearlessness, to be in tight sync with our communities, and to be unshakable in our pursuits. If we can do that, we can sap terrorism of its power, leave its perpetrators as empty-handed and anonymous villains, forgotten by the history they felt entitled to define, and discourage its tactical use in the future.
