Current Events group 1 month, 2 weeks ago Rooting For Ralph
Gerald WashingtonDear Ralph,
I’m saddened to have read about what you went through last week. No one so young should experience getting shot twice by a homeowner. But sadly, you’ve got to see an extreme side of human nature. Some people have no conscience for human life, as we keep learning through modern news reports.
It’s also disheartening that you went to three houses before you got the help you desperately needed.
It saddens me that you have probably been wondering what happened that day, but I’m glad that you’re still alive. I’m so used to hearing that the person didn’t make it after being shot at. That says a lot about where we’re at as a society. We’ve become desensitized to this kind of news because it seems to have every day.
That needs to change quickly. I just wish more people would act on that change and realize that acting violently on impulse isn’t the way. It only creates destruction and chaos for the individual and their loved ones.
Your healing journey has begun. Hopefully, the love and support you get from others empower you to continue on your journey and to maintain being a talented musician and student. I’m rooting for you to let your light shine even brighter. Hang in there and remember, trouble doesn’t last always.
Sincerely
Gerald

Thank you for showing that people still care about others in this world. A lot of times unfortunately tragedy has to arise for people to care most times. Your heart is in the right place. Thank you. Bless.

You’re welcome. It’s sad but true what you wrote about it taking tragedy for people to care. If only it wasn’t that way most of the time. Appreciate your kind words, Mavis.

I’ve started to lose hope in humanity but after Reading this. There is still a chance that there are people who actually care about others and not themselves. To think that something to this magnitude happened to someone so young breaks my heart.

I hear you, this tragedy hurt my heart. I still don’t want to believe that these things happened. They can make you lose hope in humanity really fast. I like to think that there are still people who care for others besides themselves.

I understand how deeply the tragedy has affected you and how it can shake your faith in humanity. It’s disheartening to witness acts of violence and harm that cause pain and suffering to others. It can be difficult to reconcile such events with the belief that there are still people who genuinely care for others.

Very true. With these kinds of events still happening, it can be tough to believe in humanity. Thankfully, plenty of people still feel deeply when these tragedies happen. Knowing that can restore a lot of faith in others who care for others.
