Power Of Speech

The following letter was recieved via email:

Dear Yeshiva World,

He had told me that he and my other siblings were talking amongst themselves, and they were trying to figure out the best way to approach me with this question. I guess he (yes, it was my brother) who was elected to pursue this issue.

That is where my problem lies.

My message is to have a little shmiras haloshan, because you have no idea how much damage your words can cause. Plus, if you are sincere about helping another individual, make sure your story has at least some truth to it.

I apologize for the length of this letter, but I just felt that it was necessary to be said.

Thank you for this forum.
