7. Don't speak ill of them
Don’t speak ill of your poor body.It regularly feeds itself;
You are just not aware of it.
Don’t speak ill of your poor vital.
It regularly widens itself;
You are just not aware of it.
Don’t speak ill of your poor mind.
It regularly empties itself;
You are just not aware of it.
Don’t speak ill of your poor heart.
It regularly fills itself;
You are just not aware of it.
Don’t speak ill of your poor God.
He regularly examines Himself;
You are just not aware of it.
