Antoine Leiris post.

So nice a thread started to show respect for one man who in a moment of grief most of us will never have to witness or indeed comprehend has fallen on deaf or perhaps dumb ears,This was posted for people who had not seen what Antoine had said,it was never meant to be a thread for discussing or debating the same shit that has been discussed,it was and is a powerful message I realise not everyone can see beyond themselves but for those of us that can I would hope and pray If I am ever in his position I could muster the courage and belief to post what Antoine said.

Unfortunately we all can't have the clarity of vision,purity of soul and nobility of mind of Antoine and Saul.

You are indeed right , I think my post prompted this so my apologies for that.

On Friday night you stole away the Life of an exceptional being .

The love of my life , the Mother of my son , but you will not have my hatred .

I do not know who you are , and I do not want to know -- you are dead souls .

If the God for whom you kill so blindly made us in his image ,

Each Bullet in my Wife's body would have been a wound in His heart .

Therefore I will not give you the gift of hating you .

You have obviously sought it , but responding to it with Anger

Would be to give in to the same Ignorance that has made you what you are .

You want me to be afraid ? To cast a mistrustful eye on my fellow citizens ?

To sacrifice my Freedom for security ?

You Lost .

Same player . Same game .

I saw her this morning , finally after nights and days of waiting .

She was just as beautiful as she was when she left on Friday evening .

As beautiful as she was when I fell madly in love with her more than 12 years ago .

Of course I am devastated with grief -- I will give you that tiny victory ,

But this will be a short-term grief .

I know that she will join us every day

And that we will find each other again

In the Paradise of Free Souls

Which you will Never have access to .

We are only two , my son and I ,

But we are more powerful than all the world's armies .

In any case , I have no more time to waste on you .

I need to get back to Melvil who is waking up from his afternoon nap .

He's just 17 months old ;

He will eat his snack like Every Day ,

And then we're going to Play like we do Every Day

And Every Day of his life this little boy

Will insult you with his Happiness and Freedom .

Because you don't have his hatred either .

A big thanks to Xagerate for posting it x



This man's pain and anguish , and the grace with which he carries it .

Takes my breath away .

We All could learn from it .

Petty squabbles , petty hates -- how very pointless in general , but especially in face of such fellow human's loss .

My heart with him , my hat off to him in his generosity of Soul x

He is some man to be able to not hate
I could not do it and can,t

Maybe in his position you could and would Willie,for the sake of his child he is,I just hope none of us ever have to find out how we would react.
