Blocking ears is akin to sticking a head in the sand...and we are not ostriches! Hate speak in whatever form is not a good thing, but ignoring it is as bad. I do understand that in certain situations it is better to keep quiet, but allow your silence to deny what you hear. Other times it is duty to listen and then ensure you are listened to in turn.
Your friends and family should not hear words of judgment and prejudice from you- lead by example. If everyone everywhere hears only peace, compassion and understanding, our world will be a better place.
It starts with me and you and your best friend, your father, my daughter....
