Possible Solutions

1) Respect others’ differences and faults. For we are all human and we are all different and have our own faults, even though we might not consider them or recognize them because we are afraid to.

Possible Solutions (Continued)

2) Never abuse someone else’s dignity in any shape or form. For if you do, you are not only

going to send negative energy to the person you are abusing; but the hurt is going to come back to you with ten times more power then the energy that you released.
