No. 62 
Kamwe- Never 
Friday, 28 February 2003 

Dear Amare-Amuri, 

Know this never ever, ever disrespect a person 
By insulting them or belittling them and their character  
It is wrong and causes embarrassment and hurt for both of you 

Just because others do it 
Does not mean you should do it 
Be different and wiser than that 

When others speak insult and belittle  
Promote and bless those, they are casting doom and gloom upon  
It shows you have good will towards that individual 
And they will be thankful for the positive boost of encouragement!  

And always remember to mind your own business  
Never ask personal questions of anyone at all 
Because it is rude, and they will be obliged to ask you the same 
Be respectful of others privacy and dignity and space 

Live a quiet life 
Live a private life 
Do not push to be in the spotlight  
Do not push to be in the limelight  

Just live your own life  
Away from technology 
And the Internet  

You will be much happier 
And invested in your own life! 

And won’t be comparing yourself  
To someone else  
Who is facing their own struggles  
Even with a title.  

Make your words be as few as possible 
Never say more than is necessary 
Speak as much as is required for what you need to say 
And politely shut up 

Do not run your mouth 
LIke a water fountain 
It will push others away  

And make them not trust you 
At all. 

When in doubt about an issue 
Pray twenty-nine days about it privately 
Then read a Scripture  
Then pray some more 
Then go seek counseling.  

End each session of prayer with God  
With a word of joy and thanksgiving for another day 
Spent serving and worshiping and walking with Him 

In whatever faith you choose  
I leave that up to you. 

All my love, 
Mama
