Your Words Travel Further Than You Think!

Those closest to us are the ones that we hurt the most. Why? Because you can't hurt someone when they're far. Now, lashon hara is a little bit different cuz you can hurt someone, right? You say something to some guy at a wedding who takes a flight that night. He's on a plane with 12 [music] people and he meets another 12 people, tells the guy next to him, who tells the guy this, he's this. You're done after 3 minutes. You have your lashon hara is already in Australia. That's the famous story where someone came to a rav, "How do I do chuvah?" He says, "Bring a pillow." He brought him a pillow, right? All the feathers, put a feather by every doorstep. [music] He put the feathers by the doorstep. The next morning he says, "Go collect the feathers." "Collect the feathers. No way I can collect the feathers. They're blown all over the place." So, lashon hara actually is like a missile. Come from Khos Shalom from Iran. We're not afraid of missiles. I'm not afraid [music] of missiles. I'm serious. I'm not afraid of missiles. I shouldn't have to ask me. I'm not afraid of missiles. The lashon hara I'm afraid of. That we have to be afraid [music] of. Because when you're close with someone, you can hurt them. When we're far from each other, so I'm more careful.
