In today\u2019s episode we are talking about speaking in such a way that we don\u2019t slander the names of the people about whom we talk. We\u2019ve been working with each other and our kids to keep our conversations free of speaking ill of others and we have found it especially hard to do with people we don\u2019t know personally. If we\u2019re just stating facts about somebody, that\u2019s not putting their name down, but when we\u2019re not keeping people\u2019s names safe, it\u2019s generally us spouting our opinion. There is so much information out there these days, much of it contradictory, that it makes it easy to just start offering our negative opinions. We have found though that as we try to keep people\u2019s names safe, things start looking up in life and we have become happier.

\u201cIf you think about anyone in the world, really you don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on unless you ask and they tell you all the details, and if you don\u2019t ask and they don\u2019t tell you all the details, you are left with assumptions. If you are discussing somebody else and you\u2019re making assumptions, then that in itself is gossip, which is not keeping someone\u2019s name safe if you\u2019re making assumptions and that they\u2019re negative assumptions.\u201d 9:43
