Why I Won't Watch The Charlie Kirk Video
Why I will not watch the Charlie Kirk video—and neither should you.
Here’s why: when you choose to watch, you’re not just “seeing what happened.” You’re perpetuating the very energy you claim to be against. Every click, every replay, every share feeds the cycle.
Society has become dangerously desensitized. I see it in my work every day—people numb to pain, shock, and cruelty. And yet, every time we consume these images, we normalize them just a little more. That is what shifts society, slowly but surely, in the wrong direction.
Do you remember the first season of Black Mirror, when the president was forced to do a horrific act to save someone? They begged the public not to watch. But society couldn’t look away. The damage wasn’t just the act—it was the people’s choice to witness it.
The truth is simple: some things are horrible no matter what side of the debate you’re on. Watching doesn’t heal. Watching doesn’t help. Watching multiplies the wound.
So ask yourself: What am I perpetuating with my attention?
The next three years will be about rebuilding a foundation for humanity. It will be tough. But if we want to shift into a new energy—one of compassion, awareness, and prayer—we must begin by choosing differently today.
Let’s lift humanity together.
