"Stop entertaining two faced people. You know the ones who have split personalities and untrustworthy habits. Nine times out of ten if they telling you stuff about another person, they're going to tell your business to other people. If they say, "You know I heard........."

There are people who love you and care about you.Give your smiles to them, Reciprocate!"

Then, flow outwardly penetrating everyone around you."
"Moral obligations verses Legal obligations. Legally, you must abide by the laws of the land or face the consequences of being fined, imprisoned or both.
