The Peaceful Unfriending

As I unfriend each additional name in my Facebook list, I do so without malice. Sometimes I even still like the person. But it is not natural that we are privy to each other's opinions and lives like this. So I always say a peaceful good-bye to them, and wish them a blessing on their lives going forward, knowing that I will most likely never interact with them again. I do this even if there has been rancor between us, because my faith demands that I do this.

I happen to know that many of them don't want my blessing. Some of them would throw it back in my face with a "fuck you." I'm fine with that. My faith demands that I be fine with that, and calls me to understand that this is inevitable.
