The Delay of the Redemption

Rabbeinu Yisrael Meir HaCohen of Radin, zt"l, devoted a substantial portion of his day to arouse Jewish people's awareness to the prohibition of lashon hara, and he even wrote a sefer on the subject. 

The Chafetz Chaim believed that one of the main reasons for the lengthiness of our Exile was because of negligence and ignorance concerning one's proper speech. (As he put it, there is a lot of ignorance concerning this matter and people are used to saying whatever they want, without considering whether it is permissible or perhaps constitutes rechilut or lashon hara).
