Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The individual who offends their Divine spark will die miserable, and it will be their own fault. Honor and salute the aged. Console the poor and afflicted by thy words and thy good works. Revere, love, and serve thy father and mother; listen to them; for the child who does not so conduct themselves will regret it.
