Day 110
Value : Wisdom
"The one who is wise is free from careless or negative talk about others."
Contemplation
When someone tells us something negative about another person, we tend to listen with great interest. This encourages the other person to continue talking about it. But such talk is not really useful for anyone and provides no solutions for the problem at hand.
Application
When someone is talking about another person's shortcomings, I need to question why I am listening; is this information of any use to me, or can I do anything about the situation? If not, I need to remind myself that there is no use in listening to such talk. Instead, I need to make an attempt to look at the positive qualities of the person in question, and think about how I can help everyone focus on these instead.
