A long time ago, a friend of mine - a talented writer, told me that once you write something and send it out into the world, you must let it go. People will make of it what they will, view it through their eyes, their experience, and their reaction isn’t right or wrong or better or worse than what you may have intended or thought when you were writing it – the writing has its own life.
I respect your interpretation – and the only reason I commented is that I didn’t want anyone to think I, personally, didn’t give a damn if I die or if others die.
Your comment was actually very helpful - next time I will spend another minute editing before hitting the post button.
Sorry to misinterpret your post. Beautifully written.
No need to be sorry, but thank you.
