I just thought of some wisdom I heard from a visiting minister a long while ago. His point was to not let people get you all caught up in conversations you don't belong in and make the mistake of giving your opinion about something that is none of your business.
He said to calmly give this reply to someone who wants you to gossip: "How about that?'
For example: Question: "Did you hear that she was having an affair with the milkman?"
Reply: "How about that?" Then, walk away. No argument, no gossip, no lecture.
I think it is a cool strategy.
TTYL,
Sylvia
