Knowing and speaking about these subjects shouldn't be depressing or painful, truth resonates on a higher frequency, and these higher frequencies protect us from fear and anger which resonate on lower and more harmful frequencies.

Speaking for me personally, I tend to avoid these subjects usually because I know often it will lead up to endless (heated) discussions or even threats, and with a clear focus on where I need to go in life short-term, I will not allow that in my life at this moment. But I will never be silenced completely probably. Even though the main reason that I'm being more careful is also still a bit of trauma/trigger situation from what my own government did to us before we left for Spain.

I sure hope that these mandates are empty threats! Many have been saying that, so hoping all of them are right :) haha
