We shouldn’t be surprised when cheaters cheat, thieves steal, or when dishonest people tell lies. When we encounter a gossiper, we shouldn’t be shocked at their slander.
Maya Angelou said, ‘when people show you who they are, believe them!’
Now, to be clear, all of us have character flaws, and none of us should be judged or condemned by our worst moments, but when we encounter someone who is habitually dishonest or hateful or destructive, we needn’t give them an audience!
We need to abandon our salacious appetite for gossip and lies. We have to stop giving air to the death-dealing dialogues that destroy relationships and disrupt our peace!
My mother used to say, ‘a dog that brings a bone, will carry one…’ Giving ear to nonsense quickly devolves into participating in it!
Take care as to who and what you are listening to, especially in these fraught and troubling times!
An evildoer listens to wicked lips,and a liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue.
Good Morning, I love you all!
ihs,
