What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.
I love all three which means Eleanor was not as smart as she thought she was. discussing people is not necesairly gossip. we discuss the people on the TV and make fun of them and laugh at what they have on. we also discuss what the people on our street do that prove they might be idiots. talking about people can be good and can be bad for sure.
I have had to think about this a bit - like Gail I am not sure that I agree, but I am of the view that discussing people in a pejorative way is definitely small minded. As I have aged I find less interest in people who discuss ONLY ideas unless the discussion is accompanied by some activity, some acting on the ideas, some commitment.
Hmm ideas and events generated by people, not mutually exclusive.
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with this one. Surely a balance of all three is best!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Gail.
Mmm, think it is best to keep opinions to yourself even when asked.
ReplyDeleteGossip is never nice.
ReplyDeleteI agree, also the gossip people are spreading might not always be true. Take care, enjoy your day and have a great new week!

ReplyDeleteEleanor was an independent thinking for her time.

What a great quote from an exceptional lady. Lee and Phod whose Lady admits she may have all 3 minds depending on the day
ReplyDeleteGood to be reminded of this again. It's far too easy to discuss people but of no use most times.
