Ok fine. People want to be touchy about someone they never even met or had a single interaction with, someone they only know from the news or the internet or tv. I have never understood it and I never will. I usually never say it but I’m always thinking it. Today I’ve said it.
Now, Rogue, I am done.
They’re not being touchy. It’s just easier to experience life when one is around people who are pleasant. Life is already hard enough on its own, and keeping a positive outlook is the only way many people get by. Part of that is trying not to harbor spite and bitterness toward others, or trying to find the good in them.
Sure, we didn’t actually personally know the man, but that doesn’t mean we should default to judgment and suspicion about him. To automatically harbor ill feelings toward people would just make life harder than it already is.
