Reading negative information about others can be worse than listening to it. Sometimes we are in a situation in which someone will blurt out something negative about a person, and we hear it before we have had a chance to block it. However, reading is a choice - we have time to decide whether or not this is something we want to know about. If an article is a juicy expose on a persons life - exposing private details that are surely embarrassing and damaging to that persons reputation - why do we spend even one second of our lives reading it, other than for a momentary thrill or as a sick form of entertainment at someones expense? Clearly we have made a conscious choice to listen to things we shouldnt. (Gossip by Lori Palatnik with Bob Burg) In the merit of this learning may Yeshaya ben Shoshana be blessed with an immediate refuah shleima bitoch shear cholei yisrael. Create a meaningful day! - Ora
