Supper revealed a particularly scandalous piece of gossip

And I wonder how its like to be the one whose sordid details people chatter and whisper about

Idle gossip gives you allowance to judge people. You think "How can so-and-so do this???Ohmygawd!"

Some people say, who am I to judge, right? Judgement Day is when you get judged, not the other way round.

But I think it's inevitable when it comes to judging others. Everyone has a perception of 'the other'. It just comes down to character whether that inherent perception affects your attitude and treatment of others.

That was why I found it quite admirable that they were laughing and talking during dinner, just a day after what happened. She was wronged, it was cleared up, whether it left a permanent stain on his character in her perception, I don't know. But she did not show it in her interaction with him. And attitude towards others extend beyond face to face communication with the said other. She did not backstab him. That is quite remarkable character.

Sometimes I find myself too judgmental, and I try to pull back. When I do, when I let others in, I find myself pleasantly surprised at the outcome.
