Thanks FuturePOTUS. I need to work on not giving unsolicited advice.

In some cases, it is hard to see someone being self-destructive and not saying something. I feel like I am an enabler.

But the flipside is that hurting the person may lead to more pain and more acting out.

Another area that I find difficult is when someone says something very degrading about another person and not saying anything. All attempts in various manners end up in anger and/or defense and/or then get turned into a personal attack.

In such a case, assuming that it is as simple as such, does Torah really support saying and doing nothing?

Letting the person think he or she is right without resistance?

I feel like that goes against standing up for injustice. Or am I mixing in secular views here?
