Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Mai Ahmed Fatty, leader of the Gambia Moral Congress, has told Gambians to stop attacking each other\u2019s political views because of different political parties.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Gambia can be the best country in Africa if we stop going after each other simply because we belong to different political parties.<\/p>\n \u201cIf we accept that it is humanly impossible for all of us to support the same Party or share the same ideas, we will learn to tolerate\/accept and respect our differences. If we learn to accept that one man\u2019s meat may be another main poison or your Angel may be another\u2019s Devil, then we might just get along,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cIf we learn to appreciate each other\u2019s views, instead of questioning each other\u2019s patriotism, we might just as well begin to coordinate together. If we begin to empathize instead of condemning each time someone says something contrary to our belief, then we might just start getting along. If I respect your position, even if I strongly disagree with you, and you do the same to me, perhaps we can get to some convergence down the line. If you accept that you don\u2019t own anyone, and no one owns you, perhaps you would be respectful in the way you express your opinion,\u201d he said philosophically.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you accept that we all make mistakes, including you, maybe you wouldn\u2019t expect perfection from others, because you are also not perfect. Treat others as you would like them to treat you. No one is your slave and you cannot make others think and act like you. Live your life and let others live their lives,\u201d he advised.<\/p>\n He called people to support their political views, and don\u2019t try to impose their political views on others. That is not just the law of democracy, it is also the rule of life. Those who cannot practice these traits, often display dictatorial tendencies believing that those who do not think and act like them, do not deserve to be heard, or are unpatriotic. That is false and such thinking is palpably defective. Those types of views render The Gambia one of the most politically intolerant societies in Africa.<\/p>\n For More News And Analysis About Gambia<\/a> Follow Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Adama Makasuba Africa-Press – Gambia.
