Question: What should a person do if they hear slander from another person? He himself does not slander, but simply hears it.

Answer: Regardless, this is bad. We must explain to people that slander is never the solution to a problem. Even if a person is partially right in expressing his thoughts, it is still the wrong path, the wrong method of solving the problem.

The solution should be different. Simply expressing one’s opinion against others only fuels the fire further without bringing a solution. And then, as it is said, all three suffer: the one who speaks, the one who hears, and the one who is spoken about.
