Day 96: Don't Spread Negative, but Irrelevant, Information About Someone You Dislike
I'm on the path to becoming a better person and, in most ways, a more religiously observant person. I'd argue that most of us are on the path to becoming better versions of ourselves. In some capacity then, we are all baalei teshuvah.
Think down the road to the you that you want to be. Since I don't know who you want to be, I'll use myself as an example. In the future I imagine that I am more observant. I notice people's reactions to me and take into account what I should do to make that person more comfortable immediately. I don't want to be reminded of the time I accidentally blocked my friends view to the movie she was watching while I took my time unloading food for Passover from my suitcase and talking to my other friends.
If that friend were to dislike me and randomly spread around that I blocked her and was being inconsiderate, she would be acting uncivilly and I would be attacked and embarrassed. Those emotions have no place here. Keep it relevant and remember to be fair to your enemy (see a previous day).
