Here is the text, slightly modified to remove gender and add emphasis.
One less excuse/barrier for people to do this ..


Dear every person in the world ,

If someone tells you I'm a threat to you, they are lying.
You are my friend, and will remain so unless you personally demonstrate otherwise.

If someone tells me you're a threat to me, and should be attacked -
my friendship with them will end
. Our friendship will continue.

I'm proud to call you my friend, and nobody can change that but you.

In love, peace and clear conscience,

Signed

That's great, thanks mate. I'm not suggesting everybody repeat my words, although obviously they're welcome to :)
I look forward to your post and promoting it to the tune of 9c :)

Thanks mate, yes its my text. I've mulled it over for about 6 months, and was just waiting for a forum to share it in. I was originally trying to work out a way of lodging it in the bitcoin blockchain, but then steemit popped up.
To be honest, I've been sitting on it until I had enough followers to give it a decent audience.

In fairness, a few of those upvoters may be contemplating their own. Its quite personal, but also very empowering in a way. I'm glad I did it :)
