Some home truths on acting rationally rather than impulsively

LETTERS: It seems social media platforms nowadays are primed for continuous outrage. It is great that we can think for ourselves and have strong opinions about the happenings around us.

Some of these outrages are uncalled for. Perhaps, this happens because we refuse to acknowledge that there can be multiple "truths" to every situation.

It's true that her death revives criticism of Britain's legacy of colonialism and oppression worldwide.
