Please Say/Whisper The Words Out Loud
Lesson 1
The Torah forbids us from listening to lashon hora, even if we dont intend to believe what is spoken.
Lesson 2
Sometimes, even when you avoid lashon hora, you hear it against your will. If you inadvertently hear it, you are forbidden to believe it to be true. Your mental image of the person spoken about should not be altered in the slightest.
