Yes the world is fractured and sometimes scary. Bombings and death are horrible, but there’s no use magnifying the horror by endlessly talking about how horrible it is. Doing that means the bad guys won.
We need to either take an action or be quiet about it.

Nice Maggie. I might not always do as you ask but I really like that you ask it & how you ask it.
That was beautiful Maggie. Remember, the aristocracy always keeps its mouth shut.
YES!
Stfu.
I love this.
You are brilliant & succinct.
It is a tragedy. But it is not really my tragedy. I can be empathetic and moved by the horror of it. But I cannot claim it as my own pain.
Yes.
