The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
That time my boyfriend said “whenever someone is unkind to you, ask yourself: if it was the happiest day of their life, would they have behaved in that way?”.
This always reminds me not to internalise unkindness shown to me. It’s simply a reflection of the person’s unhappiness.
