Dear Child,

Don’t go with the crowd.
Don’t go with the majority.

Don’t go with the knowledgeable crowd.
Don’t go with the high standing, ruling class.
They could be wrong.

Don’t go with the not so knowledgeable crowd either.
Don’t go with the low standing, not ruling class.
They could have been bought over.
They could be making a decision out of fear.

Bottom line any crowd could be wrong.
Of course, listen but do your homework too.
Search the scriptures for yourself.
Seek answers yourself.
God speaks to all and God is open to a dialogue with all.

God is the only sure counsel we have.
Seek his wisdom not popular opinion in everything you do.

Love,
Your Fellow Child, Yami
