The most dangerous poison is not found in the jaws of snakes, but in the poisoned tongues and hearts of some people, a poison that does not kill the body, but can destroy the soul and inner peace.
A lethal poison that spreads through gossip, envy, grudges, hatreds, betrayals and hypocrisy.
Gossip is poisoned words that spread rumours and lies about others, damaging reputations and sowing discord.
Envy is a poison that corrodes the heart by desiring what others have, rather than celebrating their achievements.
Resentment and hatred are poisons that keep bitterness alive, preventing forgiveness and healing.
Betrayal is the most painful poison, breaking trust and destroying the most sacred bonds.
Perhaps the most insidious poison of all is hypocrisy, where sweet words hide bitter intentions and malicious actions.
This poison is particularly dangerous because it can mask itself in a façade of virtue and deceive the unwary.
We must be vigilant and protect ourselves from these poisons by cultivating kindness, compassion and integrity in our hearts.
Only then can we avoid being poisoned by those who choose to walk dark paths of negativity and evil.
The most lethal poison comes from within, from our own choices and attitudes.
