Far Be it From Me to Be Serious, But ..

We need to do better, people!

Alec Baldwin is not my favorite person, nor is he the one I dislike the most. But he is a human being who just accidentally caused the death of a colleague. Whether there was negligence on-set, or whether he was goofing around and being stupid - we know he had no intention of hurting anyone.

Yet there it is on social media, people saying really repulsive things just to dunk on Baldwin because of his past statements about them or their opinions. It's gross. It is obvious from statements made and pictures published that Alec Baldwin is a man who is suffering right now.

Then there is the Laundrie family. We know Brian Laundrie killed Gabby Petito. We know that he is now dead as well. Yet the people who have been protesting outside his parent's house, are still out there yelling at them. Their son was just confirmed dead!

Regardless of whether they knew he killed Gabby, or knew where he ran off to, they are still parents and their child is dead. They could not have helped Gabby because she was already dead when Brian came home. But apparently people need somewhere to direct their rage.

We have gotten to a point I fear we may not be able to come back from, with the way we treat each other in this world. It is so sad.

I am not one of the politically correct, need safe spaces, speech is violence, kind of people. But can we show some kindness and some grace? Sometimes?
