The Energy Will Return
If you speak badly of others, the negative energy that you put out into the universe, will return to you. The same is true of positive energy.
Its just like boomerang.
Whatever energy you spread, universe will get to know that you want this kind of energy only. And you get same energy in return.
That's why spread goodwill, positivity and spirituality in fully conscious manner.
Feel Good, Be Happy ✨❤️
