What emotions would you grapple with if your hometown became a symbol for international conflict?

I would be indifferent. I don't know what that means and my home town doesn't represent me.

More so saddened that in this example, people can be more reactive than proactive and seeing both sides of the coin to make fair judgment.

that would be a sorry sight to have your hometown, the place you grew up, being the symbol for terrorism or certain events. Like how you talk about New York, first thing that pops up is 9/11, it's sad but life is not fair. Sad either way

I would feel like things were far out of my control, but also that we needed help.

I would grapple with anger and fear, because no one is really doing anything to help and it must be terrifying not knowing if you're going to die tomorrow.
