The Letz, Part I

Hi,

"Without any personal gain in the matter, a letz causes great harm to people by denigrating them before others' eyes. This is what makes zadon worse than theft or banditry, which is done to increase one's wealth. Such a person is also arrogant, for one who is humble and recognizes his own deficiencies and blemishes and does not mock other people."

(Rabbeinu Yonah, Shaarei Teshuvah III 174)
