A young man was murdered, assassinated, for nothing more than speaking, for daring to converse with those who disagreed.
He leaves behind a wife and two young children, yet instead of mourning, many chose to celebrate his death. Social media filled with professional voices, teachers, doctors, engineers and others mocking his life, twisting his words, and applauding the violence.
I cannot live in that noise. I cannot debate with those who strip tragedy of its humanity. Every time I see such posts, I feel the pull to comment, but I choose not to. I delete. I unfollow. I step away.
This is not apathy. This is self-preservation. This is clarity. I will not give my energy to those who thrive on cruelty.
Instead, I will honor the man’s humanity in silence. I will focus on what is real and close, family, creation, growth.
I will stay positive, because the world has enough shadows without me feeding them.
Not everything demands engagement. Sometimes the strongest response is to walk away.
The choice is yours.
