“There are people who will set out into this world to tell lies about you, and use their own reckless judgment in attempts to belittle you to as many people as possible. They’ll search for the one’s that will listen, the one’s they feel are weak, and can’t think for themselves. When encountering these types of people, that don’t have good to say about anyone, remember your turn for this reckless judgment could be next.”
