Article 1.
Article 2.
"The Chofetz Chaim says that most occurrences of Lashon Harah happen because the violator did not give the benefit of doubt (lo danu l'kaf zechus) to the person about whom he spoke. The root of the problem thus does not start with one's mouth. The problem ultimately begins with a negative assessment. A person makes a judgment or assessment about someone and the problem is in the assessment. If, writes the Chofetz Chaim, people would always take the trouble of giving their fellow man the benefit of the doubt, Lashon Hara would not begin."

As one watches the videos below, one cannot help but resolve not to jump to conclusions. There is another side to the story of which we are unaware.
I'm sorry, but the daughter (in the first video) was speaking just a little to street wise for me without all that much sadness. Maybe I'm wrong and one can claim shock, but something smells a little fishy, here.
ReplyDeletelisten to this daughter - she does NOT sound like a child that is distraught over this tragedy. She sounds more like an actress.
ReplyDeleteRead Article 2 and you will see that all is not what seems.
