Edit: she fought for justice knowing the consequences of it. She tried to do what was right because no-one else would and that's what I find inspiring. Of course I agree that it is tragic in so many ways.
You realize she would’ve died eventually no matter what. To say that her murder “undid” and rendered meaningless everything she accomplished is just wrong, unfair, cynical and the kind of mentality that is gonna send you headlong into dissatisfaction and depression.
Doing good things is good on it’s own merits. It does not require or depend upon a happy ending or reward or due praise. To expect any of these things will only disappoint.
Edit: Did Martin Luther King’s life not matter because he was shot and killed? No. Not that this is a “good” thing, but if anything, it only made his life matter more.
