Being a Victim of Change

Being a victim in and of a changing world
(focusing on white fragility)

In a world that is changing exponentially, in a world where knowledge

of our world is changing exponentially, we can choose to keep up or to play the role of the victim whining about what we do not like and do not understand; either because we can't or because we refuse.

For a long time, I refused to not share anything related to politics or religion on social media because of the compulsive trolls that get a kick out of social media bullying. I get a kick out of people that think they know me more than I know myself and have all the perfect labels and names to call me. I never go to other people's facebook page and argue. I feel that is insulting and crossing boundaries. But I tell them that, although their insults are not welcome on my page, they are free to take anything from my page and start an argument on their own page. (I don't think that works) BUT what has changed is that I will not let someone come at me with this know-it-all attitude that is so prevalent now days without me speaking the truth in love back to them.

This is the email forward sent sent by a family member. Below is my response.
