Reply to comment by Unique-Public-8594 in Brian Walshe, husband of Ana Walshe, charged with murder following wife’s disappearance by tiny-starship

Life: Sucks

Someone: Hopeful platitude

Reddit: Yeah, that's something I can argue about. For the children.

In the face of tragedy, you can't let someone morally and ethically aligned with you go unreprimanded because you perceive them as demeaning. The comment did not imply the kids would turn out okay. It implied they would survive.

But you don't get a hit of that sweet moral outrage by agreeing with people.

Is it “moral outrage” though?

One can be struck by the profound and tragic long term impact of what has happened and,

it might just be empathy.

Not moral outrage, not instigating a debate, not virtue signaling and not looking for karma, just sincere sorrow.

Your question was "you don’t think they will suffer from this loss?" in response to someone reflecting on how some kids survive suffering. Your empathy feels toxic, and your question feels in bad faith.

Hi

A friendly reminder, that it is OK to disagree. It's OK to have a difference of opinion.

Let's not make this into something personal... It's also OK to walk away.

Honestly, you have a very valid point but it is almost impossible to reason with emotion. If one doesn't stay on the road of the majority you will surely be notified.
