The people who gossip to you are gossiping about you. Surround yourself with people of character. Talking about other people is an easy thing to do... but is easy always the right thing? Be above it all. Don't sink to other people's levels.
Judging other people serves no positive purpose. Bringing other people down helps you little. I've always said there are two ways you can choose to use your strength... you can either hold someone down or help pull them up. Help pull people up.
There are certain things that you are going to excel at and be better than most at. You can either mock the other people or put it in the proper perspective. There are people better than you even at the things you take pride in... but even knowing that, how much does it matter? There's no life scoreboard that keeps track life's total points. If it makes you feel better, consider yourself having more points. But what does that mean? Ever think that there's things that other people do better than you? Do they mock you? Probably not.
It's pointless to compare yourself against other people. And it's even more pointless to gain pride from it. We are all more similar than we are different and everyone excels at different things. The only true comparison you really need to make is between yourself and yourself in the past. Are you a better person today than you were yesterday? You can ask yourself this everyday and work towards being able to answer that positively everyday as well.
Trying to gain value at the expense of others is the lowest way to do so. Personal value comes from within and not at the ridicule of another. Lower the people around you does not raise you, it reveals your character... not their's. Everyone is in the same fight, the fight against loneliness. Once you realize that, I hope it helps you realize a lot more.
Smile my friends... today is going to be a good good day!
