Once an old man spread rumours that his neighbour was a thief. As a
result, the young man was arrested. Days later the young man was
proven innocent. After being released he sued the old man for wrongly
accusing him.
In the court the old man told the Judge: "They were just comments,
didn't harm anyone." The judge told the old man: "Write all the things
you said about him on a piece of paper. Cut them up and on the way
home, throw the pieces of paper out. Tomorrow, come back to hear the
sentence." Next day, the judge told the old man: "Before receiving the
sentence, you will have to go out and gather all the pieces of paper
that you threw out yesterday."
The old man said: "I can't do that! The wind spread them and I won't
know where to find them." The judge then replied: "The same way,
simple comments may destroy the honour of a man to such an extent that
one is not able to fix it. If you can't speak well of someone, rather
don't say anything."
"Let's all be masters of our mouths, so that we won't be slaves of our words."
