What is the guilt of the hearer that he loses his simplicity and have bad thoughts because of you?
Because of you, the image of the others may change in his mind and may remain so, affecting his relationship and his dealings with them without the other person knowing the cause of all this! Why all this destruction?
Therefore, the fathers said that a person who talks wickedly against others, destroys the souls of the hearers and his own as well.
Judge Not Others
H.H. Pope Shenouda III
