Listen carefully...

Listen carefully how a person speaks about other people to You. This is how they will speak about you to other people.

Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.

Often those that criticise others reveals what they lack about themselves.

life is better when we are less curious about people and more curious about ideas.

That’s funny. I visited with some childhood friends last week and we were discussing the influence a minister had on my friend. She used to say “talking bad about someone causes great harm to that person”. So then I got to thinking what does that mean for this culture right now? It is so easy to cause harm that way on social media. Or maybe more to the point… s**t talking about anyone in the wrong context can cancel them. That is truly great harm. Speaking truth to power is important but you have to ask yourself when it is just s**t talking.
