Once upon a time an old man spread rumours that his  neighbour was a thief. As a result, the young man was arrested. Days later the  young man was proven innocent. After been released he sued the old man for  wrongly accusing him.
 In court the old man told the Judge: 'They were just  comments, didn't harm anyone..'
 The judge, before passing sentence on the case, told  the old man: 'Write all the things you said about him on a piece of paper. Cut  them up and on the way home, throw the pieces of paper out. Tomorrow, come  back to hear the sentence.'
 
The next day, the judge told the old man: 'Before  receiving the sentence, you will have to go out and gather all the pieces of  paper that you threw out yesterday.'
 The old man said: 'I can't do that! The wind spread  them and I won't know where to find them.'
 The judge then replied: 'The same  way, simple comments may destroy the honour of a man to such an extent that  one is not able to fix it.
 
if you can't  speak well of someone, rather don't say anything.
