Don’t Gossip
From American Thinker:
As the New Year approached a man went to a rabbi to repent because he had gossiped during the past year. The rabbi told the man to slash open a feather pillow, allowing the feathers to blow about and then return the next day. Puzzled, the man nevertheless did as he was told. The next day the rabbi instructed the penitent to now gather up all the scattered feathers and stuff them back into the pillow case. “But” the man protested “the feathers have blown all over, far away. I’ll never be able to find them.”
“Exactly” the rabbi replied. “And the same is true with gossip. Don’t do it.”
