Word Evaluations - 25

The Chofetz Chaim begins his first 3 chapters of Halacha with a similar theme -

1- one may not say negative , even if its true information ,

2- Even to only one person , it is forbidden. If there are more listeners it is worse.

3- Even if the subject is also present it is forbidden.

***
We learn how to evaluate our words - will they possibly hurt someones feelings ?
Will people feel more energized , happy , wholesome ?
The reason proper speech serves as an insurance policy for longevity is because it helps others live with energy & vitality.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
