Sharing

Dear people of Earth:
Please think before thou speakest.

This weekend yet another case of people sticking their noses where they don't belong and causing problems for someone who shouldn't have been involved.

Here's the lesson for today, gentleman:
It is very easy to determine when certain conversations can be considered "sensitive." Sensitive conversations are meant to be kept private and between the people that held the conversation. Sensitive conversation is usually only held between parties that consider themselves moderately close and therefore have an inherent level of trust. Don't divulge details of a sensitive conversation or a sensitive issue to others, it is not your place. These shared details will generally do nothing but cause hurt to others not directly involved and excite others to salaciousness.
You might ask- "Is it gentlemanly to keep/tell secrets?" The short answer is no. But taking part in a confidential, private conversation and not telling others is not keeping a secret. It is being a confidant and a good friend to another. Often friends need to talk about the issues they are facing in seek of advice or merely support, and the chance to do that for a friend is a sacred thing.
If you do not feel comfortable with hearing this information, or feel that you will be tempted to share it, express that feeling, that you would feel better if this person shared this issue with someone else. In the long run, it will be a much more healthy situation and your friend will appreciate your honesty and feel more secure with their issues of confidence.

Dumb question

So, for those of you who may be reading these and they don't pertain to you...sorry.

For you who they do pertain to....

Do you want to maybe go grab dinner?
(This is my healthy outlet of getting things out so they don't build up and cause me to do something really stupid.)

Outlet

Only place I could say it out loud and not really be heard...
Miss you
