DELETE.

Sometimes I think there should be delete buttons for the most painful moments of our lives. People always say, “What hurts us can only make us stronger,” but I think sometimes that’s just something people say to make other people feel better, because sometimes what hurts us really hurts and then makes us weaker.

But there are different amounts of pain that different people can handle, and it’s not like everyone should use their delete button. And of course using the delete button could have consequences too, because you never know what pain will come, and if you use your button at the age of 10 for a bee sting, you might regret it the first time someone calls you ugly, or the next time someone close to you dies. So that’s something to take into account.

Also, maybe the best use for the delete button could be when you make someone else feel pain, because sometimes that’s the hardest and worst thing ever. The most important thing is that everyone should have access to a delete button. It shouldn’t be like the digital divide, where some people can use computers others can’t. Equality in delete buttons for all.

  1. I sorta see the whole gift of teshuva as a delete button, erasing bad parts of our past like it was never there whatsoever.

    GOOOOOOOOOOD Shabb.

    Did I learn Cray-Cray from you? I think so. Anyway, I just used it.
