One can find these displays in the spirit they are meant to be taken and one can also feel compassion for those who have lost their lives and the loved ones left behind.
No bells can be unrung. We can only move forward. Nobody here knows everyone's story, either. Just because somebody finds these displays uplifting doesn't mean the person is not living in reality.
I prefer to take hope (assurance) that we will pull through this pandemic.
I wish the Blue Angels/Thunderbirds had not pulled out in my neck of the woods but I understand the reasoning. Had they fulfilled their schedule, I would have watched.
I would still have mourned the loss.
Sometimes people protest just a tad too much.
