Those Who Have Control Over Their Speech Are the True Honorable Humans

מִדָּה טוֹבָּה מְרוּבָּה Hashem’s measurement of goodness is greater than His measure of punishment! Those who don’t talk Lashon Hara are nobility and royal and precious and respectable; they have true “class” and are esteemed and admired. They are the true “Be’sere Mensch’en”, i.e., the classy big-league types. They are honorable humans; the true Tzelem Elokim. Chazal say there was no greater Baal Lashon Hara as Haman. And look how he ended up hanging in disgrace; the lowliest form of death for the nobodies.

And look at Esther; for good reason she ends up on top. אֵּין אֶסְתֵּר מַגֶּדֶת ב כ (Esther would not reveal her identity), she has control over her speech!
