A Whisper Separates Friends
기원전 10~6세기 편집 (히브리 지혜문학)

וְנִרְגָּן מַפְרִיד אַלּוּף
📜 THE VERSE
A perverse person stirs up conflict, and a whisperer separates close friends.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Behind someone's back, am I telling their story in a way I could not tell to their face?
📝Reflection
I have watched even the sturdiest bonds crack from a single word spoken behind a back. A whisper is more dangerous than a blade because it makes no noise. It seeps in quietly and silently dismantles trust built over years. When you feel the urge to pass along a word about someone, first consider what it will leave between three people — that restraint is the mouth of a grown adult.
