When we judge others, we are setting our own personal justice system. If I am constantly finding fault and criticizing others, I send a message to G-d. Shortcomings should be noticed and highlighted; there's no room for mercy and tolerance. And G-d allows us to fashion the very justice system with which He views us. If we see only the bad in others, we bring upon ourselves the very judgment we, in our minds, visit upon others daily.
In the next portion of the midrash, the sages teach that it is fitting for people to speak in clean, appropriate language:"
The words of Hashem are pure'...In the Torah, God chose to write eight extra words in order to avoid using terminology which was not 100% 'clean. In the Book of Bereishit, for instance, Noach is told to choose for the ark from among 'the pure cattle and from the cattle that is not pure...' [- instead of referring to the latter group using the Hebrew term for ritually impure beasts, "Tameh." ] In disqualifying the rabbit as a pure animal, the Torah does not say that the impurity derives from the fact that the rabbit does not have split hooves, [though this is true] but rather that the rabbit is impure because it [only] chews its cud. (Vaykira 11)" The clear message of the midrash: when unpleasant things are uttered, they must be expressed in the cleanest, most honorable manner possible.
When we talk about being careful about speech, we're talking about two different issues. What to say, and how to say it.
First of all, it is important not to say things that need not be said. When something is in need of being said, it should be expressed using clean, appropriate language. I've mentioned on several occasions that Rav Tzvi Yehuda Kook (of blessed memory) was very cautious with his words, always carefully weighing what he had to say before he said it. He would never say things in the negative, but would always couch his ideas in positive terms. -----------------------------------------------------

What's your problem you hypocritical old bag? You just broke your own rules on the Sabbath this last weekend, as is typical for you one most any given weekend. (as you are a member of the SDA) and your dear old dad would be rolling over in his grave knowing what an ungracious and uncouth woman his daughter grew into. That, and a wife of several husbands.
You have a heart chock full of unforgiveness, hatred for the Jew, and heaven only knows what other secret sins you harbor in your heart.

It was YOU being refered to. But you know that. You have known that since the first day at school.

I am refering to all those children who upon seeing you enter the school for the first day all said "EWEEEEUUUUUUU!!!!!" "YUCK!!" and " "Don't get any on me!"

I was in the US Army, and performed my service well enough to be recognized for it. I am proud of my service. It protected the likes of you, Jan Drew and the other anti-vac liars. I have no regrets.
Killing is what the military does. That is unfortunate, but that is also reality.

That had/has nothing to do with the post, yet you somehow think it belonged?
Please continue showing us how a person can be so stupid. It is so surreal.
