A Mentally Unwell Portion Of Society:

I’ve been noticing for a while now how mentally unwell some people have become, with social media highlighting the demise of their sanity, and in turn, their humanity. With the assassination of Charlie Kirk this week, I think my concerns for the mental state of a faction within society is totally justified!

People have formed this delusional grandiose belief that their opinion is the golden standard for the entire world, and if anyone dares to disagree or publicly voice an opposing opinion, then these same people believe they have the right to hurl the most vile and disgusting abuse, send death threats, riot in the streets, loot, violently attack people, and in some cases murder them. And what I find the most disturbing of all (which we have seen highlighted this week) are the people who are rejoicing and celebrating the assassination of someone who dared to have a different opinion to them. All with the disgusting justification that Charlie “spewed hate” so he therefore “deserved” to be assassinated.

The sheer hypocrisy, projection, and blinding unawareness of their own hateful behaviour could only be likened to a parasitic disease! I honestly couldn’t think of a more hateful behaviour than rejoicing and justifying the celebration of a human life being taken just because you don’t agree with their opinion. The lack of compassion and care towards human life is a very clear sign that darkness has taken control of some people’s minds, and on a deeper level, perhaps even their soul. 

I am not a religious person, but I absolutely believe in a higher power. And I’m afraid that the events of this week (amongst several others over the last few years) have shown that there really is a battle going on – a spiritual warfare between light and dark – the healed and the unhealed.  

Being offended is subjective, what offends one person doesn’t necessarily offend the other because we are all different and have had different life experiences that have shaped our individual views and opinions. That’s the beauty of us all being different – we all bring something unique to the table. And yet, there’s this sick and twisted push to try to force everyone into thinking and believing the same thing. It’s an unrealistic, egoic, and extremely immature and unintelligent ideology that will never be implemented throughout the world. And thank goodness for that!

If I’m totally honest, I used to be one of these mentally ill people who tried to force everyone into believing what I believed. I would get so angry and I did feel hatred and contempt for anyone who dared to have a different opinion. But thankfully through all the healing and self-development work I’ve done over the years, I’ve been able to expand my awareness and heart into a much more grounded and broader perception!

You see what I’ve learnt along my journey is this: when we heal and learn to love and accept the parts of ourselves that we do not like, then we learn to love and accept the parts of others that we don’t agree with. Through this self-love and acceptance we also learn that what other people think and believe has absolutely no bearing over our own innate constitution. It is only when we are harbouring unhealed wounds and hatred for ourselves that another’s opinion can shake our constitutional foundation. If you are comfortable with yourself, then nothing anyone else says should bother you to the point of needing to spit hate in return. 

Recently someone on social media hurled abuse at me for making a video that differed to his opinion. He called me an ex-junkie and was trying to belittle me for my past struggles with addiction. The unhealed version of me would have been offended and bit back with a war of words. Instead, the healed version of me did absolutely nothing. I simply ignored him and had a little chuckle to myself, because the truth is, I am an ex-junkie. I’ve faced that reality, I’ve healed the wounds that led me to addiction, and I’m damn proud of all of that. So why would I care what some stranger on social media thinks of me?

It’s the same with every controversial topic in society today: What offends one black person, doesn’t necessarily offend the other. What offends one gay or trans person, doesn’t necessarily offend the other, and so-on-and-so-on… Your level of offence all comes back to how you truly feel deep inside about yourself, and NO ONE else in society is responsible for your unhealed wounds! It is not up to society to change their beliefs and opinions in order to make you feel more comfortable within your unhealed self. No, no, no. That victim mentality and lack of personal accountability is exactly why someone’s heart becomes so filled with misery and blind hatred. And I’m afraid it always will be, regardless of how many people they get to “agree” with them. 

The pain and self-hatred that these people have ignored and suppressed for so long has become rampant, so much so that it has now poisoned their mind, blackened their heart, and in turn, lowered the vibrational frequency of their soul into the depths of great darkness. 

It’s not too late for them to find the light, but they must first be willing to shine a light on their own inner darkness. They must be willing to acknowledge their wounds, their fears, and their own self-hatred. It takes putting their ego aside and their indignant self-righteousness. It takes self-analysis, honesty, and self-accountability. And of course, it takes the ability to admit that they are not as perfect as they’ve been making out to be!

And trust me, if you are someone who is rejoicing and celebrating in a human life being taken because that person has a different opinion to you, then you are not only far from perfect, but also far, far away from the love and grace that makes up the fundamentals of humanity! Please go within, please heal your wounds, and please come back to the heart of your humanity…
