STOP!!!

When someone speaks badly about another, tries to sway your thoughts or feelings against that person.... accuses that person of horrible things done to them.... STOP!

Ask yourself....

Has that person ever been mean to me? Caused trouble for others?

Have you ever known that person to act that way or, do things like that to anyone else?

How did this person treat me? Were they helpful? Upbeat? Kind? Humorous? Fun? Try to make me feel better when I was down?

Then... Consider the source.... Ask yourself those same questions about the one slinging the mud...

Then decide.
