For more than 20 years, who dares to say that silence means no waves.... Because of this story, family, relatives, and friends also have to endure a lot of frustration and pressure from public opinion on social networks. . But that frustration, is that pressure worth it?

Worse still, there are people who have never held any grudges and suddenly jump out of this incident to say unjust things, making up slanderous stories without shame. Too inhumane. It is true that people can kill each other with words. But perhaps dying for words isn't so easy...I'd like to settle this in the way that I consider necessary.

There are many people who are not friends who also suggest very objective solutions. I have listened, and realized that in order to harmonize everything, there is nothing like using the old ideas: The greatest reason is also the greatest love, I would like to thank everyone for their kindness.
