I woke up still shocked and saddened by the news of Charlie Kirk. There have been so many heartbreaking things happening just this past month. Children being shot and killed, Iryna Zarutska on a train losing her life, and it feels like our world is becoming numb to the violence that surrounds us.
Then this morning, I went online and saw so much hate from people celebrating Charlie’s death. It is disgusting, it is disturbing, and it shows the true colors of people’s souls. When I think of the world my children will grow up in, this is not it.
How can someone wake up every day carrying that much anger? I can understand having your beliefs and even disagreeing strongly with others about theirs. But just as one person has the right to believe what they want, so does the person they disagree with. That is the beautiful thing about living in the United States.
The freedom to believe differently without fear. The freedom to speak your mind and still respect another human being even when you don’t see eye to eye. That is supposed to be the foundation of who we are as a country. But somewhere along the way, people have forgotten that. We are so quick to hate, so quick to tear down, that we forget there is a real person on the other side. A real family that now has to grieve.
At the end of the day, we may not agree with one another, but celebrating death is not the answer. If you find joy in another person’s death, it is not their soul that needs fixing, it is yours. We need more love, more compassion, and more humanity. And if we cannot start showing that, then we are handing our children a world that is colder, darker, and more divided than ever before.
