Focus on the Good
In ancient days if a person spoke loshon horah he contracted tza'aras. The message was that just as he exposed the flaws of a person, so too, his flaws were exposed. His rectification was to go into isolation and introspect on his own shortcomings.
Lesson: If we focus on the faults of others, we are held responsible to correct our own faults. If we focus of the good of others, HaShem will mercifully overlook our flaws and focus exclusively on our good.
App: Avoid saying all unbecoming comments about others.
