Guarded Tongue
By: Yehuda Berg
Saturday, November 8
It's in our nature to talk bad about other people. We are all guilty of this. There are many reasons we do it, insecurity, jealousy, and so on. But the kabbalists say that 'evil speech' is one of the worst things we can do to our soul.
"He who guards his mouth and his tongue is guarded from a troubled soul." - The Vilna Gaon, 18th century Kabbalist
Today, as my mother Karen Berg often says, pay as much attention to what exits your mouth as to what enters.
