How about indulging ourselves in positive gossip?
We are exceptionally endowed as humans with our prefrontal cortex that can actually think and have great things to recognize in others behind their back. Especially in the best-case scenarios.
It is also having great value in the worst-case scenarios where you are sandwiched between two parties, while also validating the pain of those who complain to you! Everybody is trying to prevail, right?!
But then, there is an element of trust and bond in sharing. I would honor shared experience in private. Context matters, indeed.
People may default to being cynically smart, but how about not being caught in the quagmire and feel even more smarter to rise above!
It is an antidote to my cringe when I overhear people gossip negatively in elevators and on summer walks. May be inherently I wish for good vibes for everybody.
