We do not engage in idle or intentional gossip which undermines someone else's integrity or which spreads the seeds of fear by talking unthinkingly about illness, disasters, and all the other fears which run rampant in the world.

Donna Goddard, The Love of Devotion

"Meanness in joking is hostility. It is not funny; it hurts."

read acts of desperation by megan nolan, and i have read scores of books like this (am always the target audience) but this one was the first with a protagonist’s voice that i fully understood and was empathetic to….. i thought it was lovely

"An ethical life is one that is mindful, mannerly, and has style. Of all moral failings and flaws of character, the worst is stinginess of thought, which includes meanness in all its forms. Rudeness in thought or deed toward others, toward nature, reduces the chances of conviviality and interspecies communication, which are essential to our physical and spiritual survival." by Gary Snyder
