Life will never be the same again after the OSCARS with those holier-than-you-and-me riding on their high horses are flocking to cast some stones. Reminded me of that famous verse “ Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”. So biblical. Anyway, I’m not here holding any stones. I come in peace, I come seeking answers.

How does some managed to stay so composed in that situation? It makes me feel uncomfortable every time I see it happening but I made sure to not miss every single reaction in the room.

Back to earth, I’m struggling inside. Instinct said walk away but my anger wanted to slap that mouth off its face. More often than not, politically correctness takes priority for the sake of self preservation. I went home quietly and kicked myself for not able to do anything, for the umpteenth time.
So, what do you do? What shall I do?
