I also believe that we're driven by two powerful emotions, love and fear, each on either end of the scale, and all other emotions fall somewhere in between. Fear is keeping people from returning and love is what keeps on bring them back. I've only been to Bali once (July 2002) prior to that other parts of the world and I've fallen in love with them all, but the love I have for Bali by far beats the feelings I have for other places that I've been too. I fell in love with Bali and am now planning my next trip for June. Having said that I watch and listen closely to what's going on around the world, this is my fear taking over. I believe the tragedy that happened has instilled this fear in most of us, the next few weeks will determine if friends and I will return. Time will tell. Peace and love to us all, love will always be there but I'm not so sure about the peace.
God Bless
