How paranoid can you get?

If you hear about a bus bombing happening in your city, would you be afraid to ride a bus in the next few days or weeks?
We had such an incident yesterday here in Manila, Philippines. I need to be somewhere later today that would require me to take a bus to go there. I am a bit worried about riding one especially since it will be passing the same highway where the bus exploded yesterday.
If you were me, would you still go out or just stay at home? Why or why not? I'd appreciate knowing your answers.

I try not to get too paranoid over anything. If i let something bother me, i start to see signs of it everywhere i go. Getting paranoid can blow things out of porportion when there is no need for it. @koikei (206)

greetings! i'd like to believe that it would be safer now since all eyes are now on the bus routes. the bombers would most likely avoid it so as not get caught. but it's always better to be safe so if you can take a taxi, then go for it. i won't let myself get too affected by what happened since it can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere.

There have been such things where I live, but you can't let it get to you. Otherwise you will live in fear all the time, because these things can happen at any time, anywhere these days.

In my city something similar happened and the truth is that if afraid to go out after this incident, I went out about 3 days later and felt that the bus would explode, but if you stay home and let fear dominate you that no is life, you have to go out and get over it or they win and take away the joy of living... good luck
