CONTINUING COMMENTS

[38b bottom] Rav: If an owner’s protest was made [against someone squatting on his land] in front of two crippled people [who cannot physically go and tell the assumed squatter about the owner’s opposition], the protest is still a valid one. This is because, “his friend has a friend, and his friend’s friend has a friend.” [Even if one cannot tell the squatter directly, he will tell it to his friend, who will tell it to his friend, which will eventually get back to the squatter himself.]

D-E-ep Thoughts: Words travel fast and far. We do not want to be responsible for mudslinging that becomes exponentially explosive. When we choose our words carefully and invest spiritual Holiness into another, our greatness will uplift worlds around us.

Today’s P.I.P. (Put Into Practice) TIP: Tether temptations to surface spreading slander. Perceive perfect possibilities to push pure positivity.
