The fragility of being alive after terror: Somewhere between gratitude and despair - opinion

I now have an immense gratitude for life (thank you, God) and for having been given another chance. But in parallel, I also have a deep sense of despair for the future that didn’t exist before.

Cindy Seni, an observer at a last-minute delegation, found herself in a threatening situation when her car was surrounded by Palestinians. In an instant, she felt a sense of impending doom, likening it to a guardian angel watching over her. She managed to capture the harrowing events, including the moment a boulder, the size of her hands, fell on her back, just two seconds before her death.

Despite the chaos, she continued to film, feeling a mix of gratitude and despair. The incident has left her with more questions than answers, but she remains grateful for another chance at life.
