I believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and beliefs and that, whenever you address any issue, you need to do so while showing respect for other people. As a result of this, if you are any of the following things and you’re on my timeline, social media feed, contacts, and personal circle, then you will get blocked:

If you’re racist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, sexist, an albino hater, ‘fatphobic’, a cyberbully, and a supporter of GBV.

I believe we can all discuss and share our opinions without being disrespectful and offensive to one another. You have the right to voice your opinion, but you need to do so without violating the rights of the next person. You have the right to voice your opinion, but you need to do so without dehumanising the next person. Do not demean people, no one is above or below you, because we are all equal before the Lord.

So, why be racist, sexist, homophobic, or transphobic, when you could just be quiet? Yes, I block for real! We can all co-exist in spite of our differences and the fact that we don’t share the same sentiments and perspectives. All we need is respect! If we respect each other, the list of people I mentioned above would not exist. I believe that the key to living peacefully with one another is respect. Let us let love prevail over hate!

Tell us: What do you think about the writer’s sentiments?
