The arrogance of slander

Hi,

"One who speaks slanderously of others also violates, 'Be careful lest you forget HaShem your Gd,' which warns against arrogance.

"Since he mocks others, he must think himself smart and a standout human being. Were he to recognize his own flaws, he would not mock others."

(Chafetz Chaim, Mekor Chaim "Lavin" #5)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
