WTH Is Wrong With People? Cruelty Is Now Going Viral

How Love Heals Us Through Forgiveness & Boundaries

WTH is wrong with people? That was my first gut reaction when I saw not just the news of Charlie Kirk’s public murder, but the flood of people online celebrating it. Oooof! Did they really say that? Did they really laugh, cheer, and gloat over another human being’s death? My stomach turned and I wept.

Not because I agreed with his views, I didn’t agree with a lot them. But because cruelty has become a sport. And now it’s going viral over and over again.

This is not about politics. This is about Us. About who we are becoming as a people. About what kind of world we are committed to creating.

One of the most life-altering lessons I have ever practiced comes from the book, The Four Agreements: “Don’t take anything personally.”

The words are simple, but the practice is not. For years, I couldn’t live them. I was the kind of person who judged almost everything and everyone. If you had two legs, I probably had an opinion about you. At the time, I thought it was righteous. But in truth, it was only exposing my own insecurities and my own distorted understanding of what Love truly is.

What began to shift me was remembering that Love is the Source. I had to read and reread words about Love until they sank into my bones. I had to deepen and expand my relationship with God and wrestle with the reality that if I didn’t have Love, I had nothing.

When I allowed Spirit to lead, Love expressed itself as forgiveness. Not the weak kind, but the kind that dissolves judgment, resentment, and the constant urge to take things personally.

Forgiveness didn’t erase accountability. It didn’t mean pretending harm never happened. It meant remembering that at the deepest level, we are One. What I do to you, I do to myself. What I withhold from you, I withhold from myself. Forgiveness was Love clearing the way back to Truth.

But here’s what I wish more people understood: Love also builds boundaries.

Without boundaries, Love becomes sentimentality. Without forgiveness, Love becomes rigid judgment. Real Love holds both compassion and discernment.

When I let ego drive, I built walls. When I let Spirit lead, Love built boundaries. Boundaries that affirm my worth, protect my peace, and honor the Divine in me and others.

I learned to live this out on multiple levels:

Digital boundaries. Love led me to stop feeding the algorithm with outrage. I refused to click, scroll, or comment on every toxic thread. That doesn’t mean I hide from the world. It means I choose carefully what I consume and what I amplify. Energy goes where attention flows. And I want my energy flowing toward Love, not cruelty.
Emotional boundaries. Love showed me that forgiveness doesn’t mean absorbing someone else’s pain or making their judgments about me. I can release them without internalizing their poison. My emotional landscape belongs to me, and Spirit guides what stays or has to go.
Time boundaries. Love reminded me that time is life’s most precious currency. If I invest my hours marinating in division, judgment, and cruelty, then I am complicit in creating more of the same. But if I devote my time to building, healing, and aligning with Spirit, then I am investing in the world I want to live in.

Through my own transformation, and later through the Divine Quotient™ Methodology, I discovered this path is available to all of us. It begins with self-awareness. It deepens as we let Spirit, not ego, lead. Love then expresses itself through forgiveness and boundaries. And ultimately, it brings us home to our True Self.

Those celebrating death are caught in their own prisons of pain. Their cruelty is evidence of their disconnection, not their strength. Forgiving them doesn’t excuse what they do. It liberates us from carrying their poison in our own hearts. Boundaries keep us aligned with Love rather than entangled in fear and becoming the very things we’re afraid of.

So today, I invite you to pause and reflect:

What kind of world am I truly committed to creating?
Am I willing to let Love be the driver, forgiving what needs to be released and building the boundaries that protect my peace?
Can I return to my Truest Self, where Love is not just the destination, but the Source of every step?

This is the choice before us.

We can continue to fracture ourselves with judgment, cruelty, and division. Or we can choose the harder, braver path:

Where Love drives us.
Forgiveness clears the way.
Boundaries hold us steady.
And Love, our True Self, is where we return.

If this message stirred something in you, I invite you to take the next step with me. On Monday, September 29th, I’ll be hosting The Boundaries Blueprint Masterclass live on Zoom from 8–9pm CST / 9–10pm EST. Together, we’ll explore how to create boundaries that honor your self-Love, affirm your sovereignty, and help you live more fully from a place of Peace.

This isn’t just about saying “no” — it’s about creating the world you want to live in, starting from within.
