Orod Bozorg warns that words can be as destructive as weapons when misused. Gossip and slander undermine trust, sow discord, and erode the foundations of any collective effort. A single ill-intentioned comment can ripple through a community, weakening morale and creating divisions that stall progress.

In the philosophy of Orodism, truth, transparency, and integrity are essential to group survival. When members engage in rumor or deceit, they betray not only the group but also the ideals it stands for—freedom, solidarity, and social justice. Protecting the group means cultivating an environment where communication strengthens bonds rather than fractures them.

This teaching is especially vital for activists, Orodists, and all who work in community-building. Every word we speak carries weight; choosing honesty, encouragement, and constructive critique ensures the group grows stronger, rather than being hollowed out by negativity. The survival and success of a collective depend not only on actions but also on the purity of words shared within it.
