There just arent very many trustworthy people in this world

You have to wonder if people know the value, or meaning, of trust anymore. It's hard to determine who we can trust with our secrets. Hard to tell who will not spread them further along than their own ears. It seems as though people are more interested in spreading gossip and gaining attention than in understanding that they had been entrusted with a piece of gold, something far more valuable than gold actually: a part of themselves that they trusted the person to keep.

More times it seems now, that the people entrusted with those secrets wish to continue to spread the fire feuled by speaking them.

But why?

What really does one gain at the end of the day to not only start a wildfire, but to help continue it? Not even having considered that these are precious lives of people we are talking about.

Every person has a story and every person has something that they wish to be able to share with the person they trust the most. How are they to know that the person they are telling the secret to, will decide then to spread it to someone else? Common gossip is what that is called and it needs to stop.

When you are given a secret, or even just something that someone wished to share with you, don't spread it! Most of the times people are under the assumption that if they don't do something, that it will be a bad thing. Stop and ask yourself, what if you were that person.

What would you wish? Would you wish for them to spread things on?

Hugs and kisses and more to come!
Til next time!! :)

    Agreed, agreed, agreed! People tend to share with me and I see that as a scared trust. Seems like common decency to me, but for some, talking about other people's personal business is an irresistible hobby.

    Have to agree. I'm the vault people come to as well. Frankly for me, it's also a matter of just not caring that much to spread it. It's not worth it to me and it's not mine to tell. I wish more people thought that way.

    Thanks for coming by, reading and commenting!

    Sorry I'm late to this post, but this is my first visit to your site. Very nice, BTW.

    I read - somewhere - "Be the kind of friend you'd like to have" or something like that. It's always served me well. If a friend/acquaintance/odd-person-on-the-corner feels the need to share, I'm going to always assume that I'm the only one they're telling.

    And, unless they're plotting to overthrow the government, it's not my place to alert the media.

Silent relaxing sunday--wait it's Saturday. A day lost and found! :)

This week's   GBE   is about "Lost and Found." I know a lot of people some years back thought that I'd lost myself. I was even told it was the better part of myself. It took me years to figure out that it wasn't true. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I always believed it to be true. Until I finally had the courage to admit to myself, that they were in the wrong; not me.  That's the problem with some "friends." They aren't really your friends. Someone recently told me something that really hit home. It was profound even.  She said:  "The friend is not a friend. just a person with emotional gravity in your life."    Well that's true. Granted, the comment she had made was from a completely different happening, but still it works.  A lot of people are fortunate in having tons of close friends, even close friends that stick around their entire lifetime. I gave up on that notion a long time ago. I realized that mostly, friends w...

(GBE 2:Blog On) First Love

By
Old post being reposted. GBE2: Blog On's Topic this week is: First Love Click the link to find out what GBE2: Blog On is and how YOU can participate. If you love writing and/or blogging, it's the place to go! Great people, great fun, what more could you ask for? FIRST LOVE When I first saw the topic for this week's GBE2, my first thought was of the friendship I walked away from just last week. He was one of my first love's. But I had already talked about it on a previous web post so I wanted something different. I just didn't want to focus on it. Today, while I was doing dishes, a.k.a inspiring myself, I thought of a different first love. To myself. I do too. I love myself. I may not always like myself... I mean come on, if you had to live with her 24/7 she might drive you batty too. But I do love myself. People can tell you so. I don't need to. Well I did, but... I'm digressing. I'm quirky, crazy (two different things there obbb...

(GBE2: Blog On) Let go of the reins and you'll know freedom

By
This week's (4th) GBE2: Blog On topic is "Control." For more info head here I admit it, I'm a type-A personality. It was a learned behavior. I felt as though I needed to be in constant control of everything around me. I worked 3 jobs and went for weeks on occasion without a day off. I still felt as though I wasn't doing enough. Not around the house, not with my friends, not for dating, not even for work. I just have always had this "I'm not doing enough" attitude instilled in me from a lot of the immediate people around me. So a lot of my behavior was ingrained so deep that I still suffer with that. I feel as though no matter what, I'm not doing enough, being the best I can be, and all of that great unhealthy attitude one should not have. But I do. And I know it's not good, but I still suffer with feeling inadequate because I am just not doing enough. Which is wrong. It's just something that I suffer with. I admit to it....
