There is a time and a season for everything.
And now is the time for forgiving and healing.
I had known this vital information about chikatime for some time now. It was given to me - and I say "given" because it was really a gift from a reader/ believer ("ridge") who made it clear that I had the freedom to do whatever I chose with it. I was faced with a situation of propriety and decency: should I keep it to myself? Or should I publish chikatime's identities and photos at the speed of a click, but at the cost of destroying them and becoming the very person I was so against? It was like choosing between the red pill and the blue pill - so I chose the pink pill! It’s cuter and more ghey anyway;)
I believe that there is always a better, greater way to go about our choices, so I chose to go with my heart and to have faith in the power of peace, love (and shopping).
I am happy that chikatime issued their apology. There is hope in the world yet. I also hope that this will also be a "new chapter" where people will find more entertainment in positive things, and not dirt, slander or lies about other people who have no way of defending themselves. That is so ten seasons, ten galaxies ago.
And if this breed of hate gossip just reincarnates in another place, then at least we now know that there IS a way to fight it, and it is not with more hate, or bad vibes, or revenge, it is to counteract it with faith, good vibes, and positivity.
Now it is time to get back to our regular scheduled program.
Mabuhay!
