Alright I am about fed up with people and their never ending need to be chitty chatty in a not so positive way. Lately I have been bombarded with people talking about other people and their personal business. So much that I have flat out restricted and blocked people from even viewing my own profile. And now I am to the point to separate myself completely from these chitty chatty people who are spreading the word out of love or because they are so Holy compared to the rest of us. And if you are older in age dont think its a wise thing that us younger folks do not understand. To me there are not cute little stories about anyone that is needed to share. If I am not uplifting my friend or family believe me I will not be spreading what may be happening in ones life. So take this as a bit of advice all you gossipers. When you pass on a piece of juicy gossip, what happens? Your friends reciprocity reflex kicks in and he/she feels a slight pressure to return the favor. If he/she knows something about the person or event in question, he/she is likely to speak up: Oh really? Well, I heard that he ... Gossip is overwhelmingly critical, and it is primarily about the moral and social violations of others. When people pass along high-quality (juicy) gossip, they feel more powerful, they have a better shared sense of what is right and whats wrong, and they feel more closely connected to their gossip partners resulting in chattiness that is tearing themselves down in the process. I have heard justifications from Im sharing this out of love and concern to flat out OMG did you hear.... Respect is a quality seriously lacking in todays society. Respect means valuing each others points of views. It means being open to being wrong. It means accepting people as they are. It means not dumping on someone because youre having a bad day. It means being polite and kind always, because being kind to people is not negotiable. It means not dissing people because theyre different than you. It means not gossiping about people or spreading lies. We have free will to make a choice. Are we bystanders or we going to take a stand and do whats right and show respect? If you do not wish to be a participant in gossip; just say, lets talk about something else. Happiness is finding peace in our lives. Peace is for those who seek it. Leave any vengeance to your God who you follow if it be the Father above, Buddha, or whomever your God may be. Forgiveness is the key. Forgiving others who have hurt you will help you heal. Forgiveness helps to remove fear. Forgiving others sets us free. How you view your life will help you to survive. It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities. - J.K. Rowling My family of PJ, Brayden, Brody, Bradley, and Maximus are choosing not to lower ourselves to your level. We choose to always look at the good in everything and love and accept people for who they are. And yes it is our choice who we surround ourselves with and we choose people who make decisions out of love and goodness. You know that saying loose lips sinks ships... think about it before you have the need to share about someone and their life may it be accomplishments or struggles is it your place to share that information?
