So many are divided right now. So many long time friends are being lost b some, based on their current beliefs.
This hit home for me about an hour ago.
My daughter had posted something on Facebook. Asking for people to share good, happy things. It made me realize that over 75% of what I am seeing on Facebook is all negative. I supported her request, and posted about something I am doing with the painted rocks groups I am involved with. We are painting rocks, in school colors/logos. The rocks will be handed out with the diplomas at Commencement ceremony, tentatively scheduled for August 1.
My daughter thanked me for sharing the positive post and said she could paint some rocks for the graduates.
Everyone else responded with attacks. Some accused her of being a naive, uneducated person who was oblivious to what was important now. Others said she was smart enough to realize that there were no positive, happy things going on now and that she needed to "be an adult", and act as such. She also received some death threats.
My daughter tried to use the "take a break" FB option, but it is no longer available. She changed her FB password, but FB will not let her know what the new password is. It was a random generated one. She was supposed to receive an email with the new password, but it never came. She emailed FB, asking for her new password. The response was that they could not send it to her.
My daughter is not a radical by any means. She is a tender, caring person, who is still actively volunteering for several groups. There is no reason FB should block her. Her account has been active for about 12 years. Contains thousands of special photos. None of her posts are political in nature.
Her and her husband have enhanced security at their place, as some of the death threats came form people they are/were in person friends with.
Why? Why do people have to be doing things like this?
I can agree to disagree with anyone. Have had many death threats for my beliefs, but, obviously, not were acted on.
If you can send some prayers or good thoughts to my daughter I would appreciate it.
Thank you.
