Personal Resolutions

Kind of a companion to SoRRy... This is where you write your personal resolutions, promises to yourself and the world to do better and learn from your mistakes

I apologized for it, now I'll remember and learn from it. I want to stop saying Lashan Hara, saying bad things about people I'm angry at. This doesn't mean I won't voice disagreements with others, but I won't talk about it behind their backs. It took me a while to even figure out I was actually doing that, but I do, and it's not good at all. I will not talk about my bitterness or anger about others behind their backs, because I know the damage it can do. I met a girl recently, and, because I had heard many bad things about her from one or two friends, I was cold to her for quite awhile. If I hadn't heard these things, I think we would have started off on better ground and I would have been friendlier. And then, even more recently, I have realized that I have been doing the same thing and probably influencing other people the same way. So no. Never again will I do that. Words can hurt a lot.
