I've always hated the sentence that starts a bit like this: "I have a friend that..." and the words following aren't good things but only bad. Mostly gossip that has only the view of one person: the one who is spreading the gossip or bad mouthing the person in question.
Yeah , like that person at your new job who says..."Look out for so and so...He's ..."
All that tells me is to look out for the person who said it!
Thanks for your comments and I'm glad you can relate. I don't like to harp on the crap I dealt with as a kid really, but it was relevant to the post I guess. I'm no angel, nor am I perfect...I'm human like everyone else but I think a little before judging and that's all I ask anyone to do.
No-one's perfect. But there are two things that matter big time. How we can determine who are we as individuals and how are we doing as humans.
How much we do the things we do, much more good than bad? And do we learn from our mistakes? :)
Yes. I call it being the best version of ourselves, as often as possible.
