The Seduction of Gossip and Negativity

I know it is tempting. When you are sad, lonely and defeated. When you are feeling small. When you are feeling threatened.

You think it makes you feel better. You think it makes you feel powerful. In control. Maybe cool even. I know it is tempting to gossip and talk. To say “who does she think she is”. To say “she looks fat in that dress”. Negativity can be mesmerizing like that. Seductive.

But you can’t experience positivity if you contribute to negativity. So rise above. Stand tall. You are better than that.
