I’ve always been the guy that loves having friends, regardless of differences. Because of that, I don’t post often when it comes to matters of politics. This, to me, isn’t a political issue. It’s heartbreaking.
Regardless of the political drive one has, murder is awful. Words do NOT equal violence. Words are what allow us to have discourse; deepening or growing beliefs. The most humane thing on the planet is having a conversation.
I SUCK at sharing what I believe. I get anxious & stressed, and often don’t think of the points I desire to share until 1:30am that night while I’m lying awake. I’ve always hated that about me. It makes me feel dumb.
One thing did well was the ability to recite facts from just about any topic of discussion. He had the incredible ability to talk to people who agreed, disagreed & those who literally wanted him dead.
If there’s one thing I hope for in my own life in light of this incredibly tragic, evil thing, I hope that I will learn to find my voice, share it with meaning & honour anyone who thinks/feels differently than I do.
RIP Charlie. Lifting up his family & friends in prayer in the light of this extreme evil.
