How 9/11 Made a European Upper-Middle-Class Radical a Conservative by Annika Hernroth-Rothstein

I was raised in a country where that neutrality — that indifference before right and wrong — is a badge of honor. I was taught that morality is weakness, faith is ignorance, and the concept of good and evil is cause for ridicule.

On September 11, 2001, I saw, for the first time, the difference between fear and freedom, and I vowed not to be neutral between them, ever again.

So much insight and self-awareness.
