When you spread bad news and gossip about others what you are doing is spitting into the wind because sooner or later it's going to be blownn right back at you.
Don't cause yourself trouble where there's no need.
Don't yield to temptations of lust, power and greed.
No matter the reasons for the things you do,
They always come back, they come home to you.
Things never work out for those who break rules.
They always get caught and then look like fools.
Some rules are written, some just common sense,
And those who ignore them are stupid and dense.
Don't look down your nose when you don't understand.
Ask questions before you let judgement stand.
There are things that go on we know nothing about.
Our opinions oft differ once things are found out.
When tempted to cast bad light on a neighbor,
With tongues that drip venom and cut like a saber,
Think how you'd feel if he did that to you.
Speak ill of another and hurt yourself too.
Put a note in a bottle, cast it into the sea.
In a day or a week it comes back to thee.
Whether written or spoken all words have power.
Speak not without thought, the results could be dour.
So make sure it's good, spread kindness my friend,
And whatever you do, don't spit into the wind.
