I have watched with utter sadness how intimate friends have been falling apart and severing well-nurtured associations on the basis of differing political choices and preferences.

As 2019 general elections draw closer, this worrisome trend has assumed an alarming proportion.

Hitherto well cultivated friendship cutting across years with evident mutual benefits are giving way for political correctness.

Last week, no fewer than three intimate friends I know parted ways because of political disagreements over Social Media posts.

It is as shocking as disingenuous, as far as I am concerned, to trade off solid friends with whom one has come a long way because of political posts.

I am always amused while most of the Politicians for which we fall out with people and associates always meet over bottles of wine after electioneering, their internet warriors never see eye-to-eye again.

Folks, don’t lose friends and destiny helpers because of political posts, choices and disagreements.

If your friend takes a political position you don’t understand, call privately for clarifications. And admit everyone is entitled to a political choice.

Even if it doesn’t align with yours, learn to respect friends. Let them choose whatever they want without getting emotional or personal about it.

Don’t abuse, taunt or disparage a friend who appears not to be in your political camp.

When all is said and done, 2019 will come and go. But it shouldn’t leave you with a litany of estranged friends and associates.

Only the wise will take this to heart.
