It's a strange thing to miss being shot at.
A year ago today I was in the middle of a month of intense, lethal rocket barrages on the northern Israeli city of Tzfat during the Hezbollah War. I was rebuilding bomb shelters, taking food and medicine to home-bound elderly, handicapped and poor, and at night providing moral support the wounded IDF soldiers at the hospital, many of whom missing limbs, scarred and burned.
And for some reason, some sick disturbance deep in my psyche, I miss the rocket fire. Apparently being one of those strange, perhaps unfit for evolutionary survival folks who doesn't shirk from gunfire, explosions, etc...plenty of things scare me, don't get me wrong, but for some reason not those mortal threats...comes with a disadvantage as well...
I'm really only a fine human being while under fire. All I need is someone to lob grenades and katyusha's at me for the rest of my life.
