I don't know what to ignore anymore.

I been ignoring a certain incident that happened in my home country involving women rights, well basically a murder, some asshole killed a 20 year old college student for refusing to marry him.. There's more details but that's all I can say right now. It's been all over social media and YouTube for the past couple of days.

I just don't have the heart for that to actually open any of the videos discussing the accident. It's just a bad trigger for me emotionally and obviously that's the case for a lot of people, starting with her family. It makes me disgusted and really angry especially after I discovered how another asshole "a religious figure" reacted on the situation.

And today the situation in the US happened and I'm not sure which part to ignore. Even if I stop going on SW and FB they'll show up on YouTube.

The thing is I don't want to be angry anymore it just ruins everything for me and it takes me days to recover. Why are humans such assholes. And why are the assholes mostly men.

@2cool4school First it's not a competition second you guys had a pretty bad shooting in a mosque in 2019. How did you forget so quickly? Those victims were citizens in your country.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether I’m not a kiwi. But it’s severely different after the tragedy in the mosque. I’m not trying to be competitive. I’m just listing an example of a country that drastically changed things in response to that one event. How many will it take before things change in the US ??

@2cool4school That's fair enough. I'm not American but yea they really need to learn a thing or two from you. I think your country's way of solving the weapons problem after the incident is very good. Even with covid you dealt with it differently it's quite fascinating.

My home country I mentioned above is Egypt. It's never going to be a fair comparison if we compare the two countries, you're like a century ahead of us if I'm being honest.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether I’m not a kiwi. It’s just an example of how a country can change. Comparisons aside I think all countries can learn from each other. Except maybe North Korea. Those who don’t want to change sadly have all the power.
