ON THE CONTRARY

PEOPLE are entitled to their pain, we all know that. Everyone has a right to mourn, be it the death of a loved one or the defeat of a preferred candidate. And it is incumbent upon us to commiserate, if not understand and respect that. But not when the one who is mourning is in a destructive path of eviscerating not only themselves, but the people around them. In such cases, we need to intervene to stop these people from hurting themselves and others.
