COMMON SENCE

Do not challenge a person who has influence,
you may fall into his power.
Do not quarrel with someone rich,

he may bribe people to turn against you.
Gold has destroyed many people and corrupted kings.

Don't argue with someone who talks too much,
you just be adding fire.
Don't make fun of someone who has bad manners,
he may insult your ancestors.
Don't criticize someone if he/she is already turning away from sin.

Remember that we are all guilty.
Never think less of someone, because he is old,
some of us are growing old too.

Don't be happy over the death of anyone,
remember that all of us must die.  Sir.8:1-7
