Spiritual Accounts

Everyone has a Spiritual account – A spiritual account for others to deposit and withdraw from it.
The account contains not money but Love, Faith and Hope. You and I can both withdraw and deposit into one’s spiritual account.
When you encourage someone who needs encouragement, you are depositing into his or her spiritual account. In other words, when you do something good to someone – be it in general or in specifics, you are depositing.
It’s the same for the opposite – When you blame, scold or do something that you shouldn’t be doing against someone else, you are withdrawing from their spiritual accounts. In the long term, that particular person will generate hatred and distrust towards you. If this happens, you have failed one of the general commandments and that is to love your neighbors.

Note that we all make mistakes in life and not all people love you. There’s bound to have someone in your life that doesn’t like you and sometimes, vice versa. Therefore you might somehow offend someone in your life that you didn’t mean to. This leads to the withdrawal from his or her spiritual account towards you. Maybe his or her impression and opinion of you is not as good as before.

To prevent one’s spiritual account from reaching zero or even a negative value, we should always deposit into everyone’s account. It doesn’t need money. All it needs is only some effort and time spends towards somebody – whether he or she is a stranger or not. It can be a smile, an encouragement, a praise etc.

So lets starts depositing into one anothers’ spiritual account now!
