We have this tendency to raise those who have just died to "god status". Well -- we also need to be prepared for an astounding fall from that godlike place.
I also sometimes think that we are in such a divisive place, that we long for something - - anything - - to bind us together. This death kind of did that. We might not agree on politics, but -- oh yeah -- we can all rally together by loving on a dead athlete.
I've also learned one thing about Facebook - - do not disagree with any one else's post. If you do, keep it to yourself. My postings have become increasingly bland, non controversial things - like silly cat memes or nature photos or places I've been. Plus - I'm not posting as much anymore, either. It's like everyone is itching for a fight, but I'm not gonna play.
