"That a thing is 'ordinary' does not mean it is not valuable. Water might be 'ordinary', but without it, there is no life", the message continued. "Value ordinary people! They can save your life. Don't be too proud to respond when your gateman greets you. Remember, it was a house-girl that told Naaman how to cure his leprosy. If you treat the ordinary people in your life like garbage, you may die with your ailments. Low class people are not necessarily low life people", the message read.
