I am fine. As I wrote in a previous posting, we went to the capital city to place flowers on the "flower ocean" in front of the Oslo Cathedral and lit lights.
Today, the whole country will take one minute silence at 12 o´clock. The first hour at work me and my colleagues were talking about what had taken place...
The brother of a team player in my son´s football team was shot dead at the island. Thus his team had a memorial yesterday. So far, names have not been published of those being killed. Then the 2nd wave of grief will take place in our country. Keep in mind that at the youth rally there were young people from all over the country assembles, thus the whole country is directly affected by this. We are just five million people - thus almost everyone will know someone who knows someone....
People are not vengeful. in fact many are relieved that non-white muslims are not behind the events, cause that might have increased tension and racism in society.. Now people hopefully will be more inclined to less prone to bigotry and mistrust of people different than themselves.
It is really sad, it has been a weekend of reflection, tears, disbelief and sadness. But we will go on.
It is like the young woman who stated to CNN: If one man can show so much hatred, just imagine how much love we can show all together." or something along those lines.
Norwegian values of inclusiveness, solidarity, social consciousness will perservere and we want to keep our open, transparent society, albeit some modificiations I guess when it comes to security etc...
Thanks for your concern.
