A lot of good people cause harm because in their head, they are trying to accomplish something good.
In today's Tanya it says that if you think that you are going to print additional Tanyas before the original publisher made back their huge investment of time and money, not only are you not accomplishing something good - you are causing a tremendous physical and spiritual harm.
There is another concept that doesn't get a lot of light, but I believe is a little bit connected to today's lesson.
Einstein famously teaches that for any physical thing to exist it has to have its own moment in time, and it's only physical space.
In the sefer yetzirah written by Abraham, it adds a third dimension: not only do we have "Olam" and "Shana", space and time, but there is also "Nefesh", Soul.
Not Soul, life, rather, 'identity'. For example 10 + 10 equals 20, and 1 + 1 equal two in the same time and in the same space.
So when we see billions of people around the world each with their own perspective, it's not a weakness in creation.
On the contrary, it's an expression of the creators incredible capability and intentional design.
And so the same way if I step into your space I cause harm, the same would happen if I take someone else's joke, or if I ignore someone else's opinion - I am destroying them a little bit
