A man has been shot and killed in an alleged road rage incident in Kempton Park. Eye witnesses state that he got into a minor car collision with another vehicle. When he attempted to take pictures of the cars an argument ensued. It is alleged that they pulled out a gun and shot him in the back as he was trying to get away. He died a short distance from the scene.
Police are on the scene. This is a developing story. #KemptonPark
People will call you cold the moment your peace stops being convenient for them.
They were comfortable with the version of you that reacted to everything.
The version that explained himself.
Chased people.
Fixed every misunderstanding.
Replayed every argument at 2 AM wondering what he should have said differently.
Then something changes.
You realize not every relationship deserves CPR.
Not every misunderstanding deserves a courtroom.
Not every insult deserves a response.
And not every person walking away needs to be chased down the street.
That’s when life gets strangely quiet.
People leave and you let them.
Someone misunderstands you and you sleep anyway.
A friendship becomes one-sided and instead of begging for the old version back, you accept what it became.
You stop confusing loneliness with solitude.
You stop treating every ending like a mystery that needs solving.
And people who knew the anxious version of you may think you’ve become detached.
Maybe you have.
But there is a kind of detachment that isn’t bitterness.
It’s wisdom.
It’s realizing how much of your suffering came from trying to control things that were never yours to control.
Other people’s opinions.
Other people’s loyalty.
Other people’s choices.
The past.
At some point, peace stops looking like getting everything you wanted.
It starts looking like needing fewer things to go your way.
That’s real freedom.
You don’t become peaceful when life stops giving you battles.
You become peaceful when you finally learn which ones deserve your blood.
