Once upon a time, 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, the man felt humiliated as he walked to his home. He sued the old man for wrongly Accusing him.
In court, the old man told the Judge, โThey were just comments, didnโt Harm anyone.โ The judge, before passing a sentence on the case, told the old man, โWrite 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 sentenceโ.
The next day, the judge told the old man, โBefore receiving the sentence, you will have to go out and gather all the pieces of paper That you threw out yesterdayโ. The old man said, โI canโt do that! The wind must have spreads them and I wonโt know where to find themโ.
The judge then replied, โThe same way, simple comments may destroy the honour of a man to such an extent that one is not able to fix it. The old man realized his mistake and asked for forgivenessโ.
Moral: Do not malignant or blame anyone without knowing the facts or the truth. Your words may ruin someoneโs reputation without any fault of theirs.
