I'm sadly stunned whenever I see a celebrity's name trending on Twitter and read posts by people wishing ill upon the individual. I've seen this with regard to musicians, movie stars, comedians, and especially politicians.
Most recently, this happened with regard to staunch right-winger Charlie Kirk, who had been reportedly taken to the hospital due to back issues. His name started trending #1 on Twitter and the nasty comments followed.
This is disgraceful to the highest level. I don't care how much one may despise another, you should never wish ill upon them. A person's health and well-being go above and beyond politics. It's about humanity. These individuals may be treated like works of fiction over the computer, but they're actual human beings, with friends and families who care about them.
Everyone has the right to form an opinion and similarly, everyone has the right to disagree with another's opinion. But no matter how much you may disagree with another, you shouldn't wish ill upon them. There's no one I despise more than Donald Trump. I loathe the man and everything he stands for, but I'm not going to ever wish ill upon him. That'd be inhumane and make me come across like the monster I claim he is. Take that negative energy and put it into something positive, like contacting your elected officials, starting a petition, getting out the vote, helping those in need, making the world a better place. Instead of hoping another life ends, try to make a better life for yourself and others.
