Daily Lift #372

Don't Spread The Insult

Some people become so upset when they are insulted, that they repeat the incident to others who would otherwise not know about it! By giving the matter additional attention, you are causing yourself additional embarrassment!

(Rabainu Yonah to Mishle 12:16; Rabbi Pliskin's "Gateway to Happiness," p.298)
