speak well of others

On Being a Friend

God said:

Beloveds, I know you would never speak ill of others, but what are you doing when you speak of others' difficulties? If you must see difficulty, if you must see fault, if you must see downfall, no longer tell others about it, for then you compound it. You, in effect, affirm the very declivities you see. These are not for you to confirm. Who are you to proclaim anyone else deficient in any way? Who are you to broadcast anything you see as weakness in another? Think twice.
