**Non-business post. Please excuse my sentiments; this is my wall after all**
Anyone who knows me personally knows I don’t get involved in politics.
I don’t post about it, I don’t argue about it, let alone speak publicly about it.
I’ve always kept my thoughts to myself, avoiding debates because, honestly, they’re exhausting, and no one ever really listens.
But this time, it feels different.
It feels personal.
And at this point, I don’t care anymore.
Over the past few days, I’ve unfriended and unfollowed people—not out of anger, but because I just don’t have the energy to argue with those who can’t see beyond their own biases.
If they choose to do the same to me, so be it.
But this isn’t about taking sides.
It’s not about proving anyone right or wrong.
It’s about what my heart tells me is right.
And right now, that’s choosing compassion.
I know not everyone will understand, and that’s okay.
I know that for many, his leadership represents loss, grief, and wounds that will never fully heal.
I would never dismiss that.
I would never take away from the pain of those who lost loved ones during his time in power.
Their anger is valid. Their grief is valid.
And if I were in their shoes, I might feel the same way.
But today, when I saw him—frail, vulnerable, and no longer the strong, defiant figure the world once saw—I felt something I can’t ignore.
I felt a different kind of sadness.
Not for the politician, but for the man.
The human being who, despite his flaws, has carried the weight of a nation on his shoulders.
A man who, love him or hate him, has given his all.
Even if that meant facing its consequences alone.
Now, at the end of it all, there is no more power, no more politics—just an old man nearing the end of his journey.
And at this moment, I choose to set politics aside.
I choose to acknowledge his humanity.
Some will understand.
Others won’t.
And that’s okay.
But if standing with compassion makes me lose connections, followers, and acquaintances, I’ll accept that.
Because at the end of the day, humanity matters more than politics.
And that’s the choice I’ll always make.
