		<description>[...] I believe that if you ask yourself these questions, you will find that many &#8220;trifles&#8221; or &#8220;accidents&#8221; are not significant enough to warrant a response. They&#8217;re not worth the loss of temper, self-induced stress, or breaking your silence. [...]</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve noticed when I&#039;m out and about socially with people that most of the conversation does tend to focus around &#039;gossip&#039; - who&#039;s doing what and what the people speaking think &amp; feel about it. It doesn&#039;t matter whether they&#039;re discussing politicians, celebrities or friends and associates... 

It becomes a way to bond, to demonstrate what you believe and what&#039;s important to you, and to find out who else thinks the way you do.

So as I do my best NOT to gossip, it brings up an interesting issue... how can I participate and therefore &#039;bond&#039; without betraying my intentions to always com from a place of love and non-judgment?

Quite the conundrum, and suggestions welcomed!

Much joy,
Kara-Leah</description>

		<description>Thanks Aaron... that&#039;s how it usually works... it&#039;s either towards or away, not to be confused with somewhere in the middle... because that&#039;s away too.</description>

		<description>Alex,

Your &quot;what is my intention&quot; bit reminds me of a similar concept I use that accomplishes the same thing.

Whenever I am having doubts about whether or not to say or do something, I simply ask myself:

&quot;Will this take me towards or away from my long-term goals?&quot;

If the answer is &quot;away,&quot; then that thing does not get said or done!</description>
