Sometimes silence says more than words.
Think about that .

This is the third or fourth comment to this effect; I will offer my reply. I do NOT comment on tragedies or the passing of Yidden as reported on YW. I feel heartbroken; I look inward as to how I may improve. Sometimes I shed tears. But this type of news is not, for me, a “commentors forum”. It’s to read, do introspection, and feel the tragedy.

Other than those who type in messages conveying “BDE” (which I am not putting down; it’s just not something I personally do on a blog), there is little to SAY. There is much to feel, and perhaps to do.

I speak for myself when I say I prefer to comment and dialogue on IDEAS rather than news- perhaps there are many others who feel the same. A tragedy affects us all, and registering a “comment” on the thread does not evidence a greater degree of empathy, sadness, or sensitivity.
