Following the heartbreaking news of Senate Minority Leader Abba Moro losing his son and grandson within 48 hours, another disturbing comment surfaced: “Nobody gives a fuck, poor people die every day in this useless country and they don’t care either.” While frustration about societal inequality is understandable, using someone’s personal tragedy to make a political point is cruel and heartless. Grief is universal — it spares no class or status. Dehumanizing others because of resentment only deepens societal division. Compassion should never be selective; mourning with others reminds us that empathy still exists in a broken world.
