It is K'dai to constantly point out the Maalos of Klal Yisroel. Like R' Yerucham Olshin Shlita once said, that our Dor is a: אַ כְּ שֵּ ר דָּ רָּ א generation that has improved upon the previous generations. Hashem loves this, and it is very important to avoid mentioning today’s weaknesses in Kedusha and Tz'niyus, Mussar, learning Torah, and Bain Adam La'chaveiro, etc. (unless there is a Tachlis). Instead, you accomplish much more with love and understanding. There is an unbelievable Yesod, that by saying good and being Dan L'kaf Zechus you actually cause people to improve.
There Is a Big Segula to Speak Positive Even If It Isn’t True
A Yungerman in Lakewood is putting out a: קוּנְּטְּרֵּס booklet on Sin’as Chinam, and he showed by different quotes from Gedolim how speaking against groups in Klal Yisroel can give a person a lifetime of: מְּ קַ טְּ רְּ גִּ ים accusing angels and sins galore, Chas V'shalom, since for each person alone there are 17 ח טָּאִּים sins! Imagine how lucky are those people who follow R’ Avigdor Miller Zatzal who said “Better a positive lie”, and “Never verbalize a negative emotion”.
Sometimes it is preferable to keep saying that this Dor has practically no Sin’as Chinam with groups, than to kvetch how bad everything is. First of all, it is indeed much improved without a question. And besides, there is a big Segula to speak positive, even if it isn’t true.
