Awareness is vital. Nay-sayers are bullshit.
No positive change ever came from not sharing a person’s/people’s suffering with a wider audience. And Facebook, as well as other social media, is the perfect place to make the world-at-large aware of suffering anywhere in the world.

No one will love your work unless it has an opinion– and with an opinion come those that disagree.

You're not required to answer every question...
Confrontational customer service today: after station attendant washed my car windshield while I was pumping gas, the guy asked if I had full-coverage car insurance. What the hell does that have to do with my pumping gas or him washing my windshield? So, I thanked him for washing my windshield the 3 times he asked if I had full-coverage car insurance.

Gandhi didn’t bitch about it. He and his followers took full advantage of it by “taking the blows”!
Gandhi’s 240-mile protest march to Dandi, India…
When the marchers reached the sea, they started making salt from the sea-water, thus breaking the law. This gesture led to civil disobedience breaking out in many parts of India. 60,000 people were arrested.
