Gossip

Welcome to Wondercafe2!

A community where we discuss, share, and have some fun together. Join today and become a part of it!

I agree. That's not gossip. It was concern for their safety, especially the dog's wellbeing, ;) and response to an incident many found traumatic. It was part of the healing. It's a good reminder of why community is important.
There’s a lot of infighting in community. The greater the struggles of the people within the more that seems to be - especially these days - and the harder it is to work things out. That’s a cause of gossip, and then the gossip keeps the infighting going. To be honest I’ve had plenty of days where I prefer being a hermit, for the price of loneliness. I don’t mind my own company - covid isolation wasn’t too bad in that regard - but I can’t do that all the time. Few can. We all need connection. We all rely on others. The human world is a socially constructed world. Online communities are real, too.

There's adept of intellect here and yet the powers hate the item ... intellect!

Thus intellect ends up on the fringe (in the round)! A difficult concept for the overly emotional as they flare ... Moses run into this on the mound!

Throw the Ba'aL they cried ... thus Auric descended ... virtue unseen!

Baloch' said the demos ...

I like our lifestyle because we can be hermits within a community. Yes, there's been drama. Thankfully, I'm old enough and cranky enough to just walk away. We have our comfy space and a great circle of friends. It's quite possible to gave community that is reasonably healthy.

I'd have a hard time living in one of those shared housing situations unless I had a kitchenette where I could make my own coffee, and most meals. I'd have to be able to have introvert time.
 
As old folk walk away from the edifice (in unavoidable terms) there are no young and fresh faces to take up the nonsense that a virtue lies buried there somewhere. Unless the item of concern (oh bother) is reduced to nothing through a humiliating downturn like thoughts when failing at the urge to make some intellectual sense. There remains only one thing in reality; "the urge to control" as to "box up" governing regulation and responsibility with the arms of the strong man who will show us how things fail, without that fringe of thought to protect great "will" every story has a great "will" in it to expose what could go wrong. Does this sound like the myth of da Vida's contempt? Thus the split ...

Why have the will to do it justice when, alternately, a lie appears to do the same thing ... at least in a' temporal state! Beyond that timelessness lies ... silence and dead ere ... correct, if not right! Folk sometime slink off in silence when caught up to their ears in the concerns ...

An authority told me one time in the past to write that down as he was degrading the thought to the underworld ...

Do you understand the potential of all that remains out of sight? Is it like "a' temporal" concern ... whence one linguistic authority informed me in the past that "a" is an indefinite word in the greater perspective that you cannot determine whether it is with (pro) or without (con or against regulation). Thus the mere conception is a fallout, or drop down cause ... so duck in all cases!

Strike the unknown with a stick, rock, rod, or shaft it as check for the delayed response ... reactionary drag? It is best to be beyond that thus the abstraction of a heavenly state of mind ... something that's out there ...

I've been told that everything comes back on Yah (Jah-Ovah) in a godly manner as a Rev Enge 'n! (Enge being defined from one source as a tight spot ... often where authorities get themselves without the prerequisites of life) Is a tight spot like a sphincter? Some Phin-x oh, there's an unknown attached! Cross that line and guess what?

This sometimes occurs on a high and windy hill where the cover was all blown away and nothing stood adorned ... Moses related to it and was Shem 'd, jacked right out of his boots by shadows under his resting spot ... thus the image of floaters drifting through the trees ... naked dirt? That's Ur ...
 
Can an old essence be pictured as a bore considering what they lightly absorbed ... and now must radiate from the burnt out physical remains?

Some physicians label this a cooling butt, or the flaky end of what used to be ... and forget there are connected in the mess thus created by such delving forces ... what comes out of it? Outcomes that float ... bit of crap given what they tell you they know when they avoided intelligence for the sake of will ... and after experiencing that they became silent! It happens repetitively as the Peter thing ... prick of the conscience? Some places referred to as dingle 'd orph ... the grand Don ...

Are you familiar with the Latin "thorn" it is like the Greek "gamma" an item tucked away out of sight ... pull it off into a dark place and there is relief! However, expect that something may get into you from Big' Ur ... as the fluid state shifts ... as natural character development ...

Hold up? The encounter demands support systems ... thus communities because of many men can't stand it ... once is enough and they were exhausted ... no seconds ... if they were, would they be Beta? Wait a bit ... just a second ... these go round ... especially in duals ... attempting escape!

Dualities? They get a bad name ... and even more added ...

That's the dirt passed as a rumor or other literary device ... so the truth cannot be told about ends and initiations ... the des EX 'n of resolutions? Disseminating, or so the drift manifests itself ... really you can't tell! It would remain a Shem ... as once opened ... there are scattered views ...

Monstrous eh ... a particular thing!
 
To stop gossip, I've found it works to share the truth. I can only do that if it's my story to tell and I'm not covered by professional ethics (NDA or similar)

An example of that was when false information was being shared re my cancer diagnosis. I ended up disclosing via Facebook and asking folks to correct false info.

I don't tend to hear gossip about others. My friends aren't gossipers, tend to keep confidences close.
 
I actually find my daughter is crazy guarded about betraying confidences. This probably stems from Seasons Centre where she was told not to repeat stories of sibling loss shared in the group, outside the group. We never heard a peep from her. Other kids would bound down the stairs after the session exclaiming, "You'll never believe how her brother died!" Before being shushed. But Claire never said anything on the way home, or anywhere that I'm aware. Even as a volunteer, she has provided no insights to the stories of the children in attendance. Nor have I asked on the way home. That skill should be useful for a future psychologist. I only get stories of how cute they were being.

I heard a lot of stories as well when I was sitting downstairs. I don't repeat them because I don't want to ruin anyone's sleep. Some can absolutely mess you up.

Yeah, she's starting off well. I'm guessing the experience she's gained from both attending the centre and volunteering there will be valuable if she goes into counselling in her psych studies.

Yeah, that's part of the idea. The intention originally was for her to volunteer at Bloorview, but the drive, the schedule and the application process were all daunting. And Seasons seemed more applicable to her chosen career path.

We left Bloorview to the north Toronto rich kids. I just hope some other dad got to throw some other kid across the room into the beanbag chairs and freak out the volunteers. I worry I've been the only one. I'm sure someone complained about me then, too.

There's probably some kind of gossip about me floating around our church. I mean, I am one of the pastors, the only foreign pastor, and the only white guy in our church of 3,000. I really have no idea what it would be, though. All the feedback I get is positive and/or helpful

Thus you expect it is all positive gossip? Could this be a private fault ... touch of rapture?

One wonders if such a dimension could have a space for fete to occur among those laboring to understand ultimate fixations ... that is on opening for when labor is fate-up (ASSe OP Fable)?

Bummer eh ... there being 2 angles ... demiurge! There are abstract possibilities ...

It's a touch of knowing what wonderful people are in my church
