'Yes' to respect; 'no' to violance

Today we've seen a victory for respect. Violence against women has received a set-back. That's happened with the just-released news that a campaigner for Real Social Dynamics who was touring in Australia has just had his visa cancelled. Real Social Dynamics promotes the humiliation of women. Its followers are young men with no respect for women.
I was among thousands who signed the Change.org petition calling for the Real Social Dynamics visit to end. Now, its representative's visa has been cancelled.
Respect for others is the basis of a civilised society. When we lose respect for other people we are throwing decency out the window. If we lose our basic values, how can we look in the mirror and face ourselves, respect ourselves?
Human beings have such a capacity for good, for generosity, kindness and being thoughtful for others. Let’s nourish these good characteristics. Let’s be our best selves and show respect, care and thoughtfulness in our relationships.
Thank you Matt Jowett for organising the Change.org petition that has brought about this good result.
