I agree. I, too, am conflicted.

But more, I'm exhausted from witnessing the constant drumbeat of hatred and finger pointing and politicization of our world through the lens of social media. Social media is very good at shining a glaring, blinding spotlight on things but terrible at conflict resolution.

I have this idea that anything posted on social media should be made to disappear in 24 hours, never to be seen again. It goes into the virtual dustbin in the sky. The end. Let it spark discussion but for God's sake don't let it steer discussion. It's deaf, dumb and blind (social media). It's, largely, voyeurism.
