Lesson 1 It is very easy to learn the laws of shmirat halashon and just think about how other people insult and cause pain with their words. It is easy to remember times when we have been insulted. This however, won’t help improve our level. It is important that we apply what we learn to ourselves. Think about "when have i ever done this?". This will help us improve and grow. Lesson 2 It can be considered lashon hora to talk negatively about a food product that was produced by a Jew. Ex: "The challas from the bakery are horrible", "the Kugel was raw". This might seem a big extreme. We are talking about food, not people.... Think though, how would you feel, overhearing someone comment about you "he really doesn’t know how to cook".
(Lashon Hora = reporting something negative about someone else that is TRUE) (Lessons taken from The Power of Words by Rabbi Zelig Pliskin and Purity of Speech by C.T. Friedman)
