When relationships lose their pitch through lack of interest and become stale or unbearable through enduring stealthy backbiting, the emotional house of cards is under attack. A painstaking reshuffle, however, may brand a new choice of life and create energy for positive thinking, whereas remaining bogged down in dispiriting situations and staying clogged up with immaterial hassle may only spawn forlorn deadlocks. ("Mes cliques et mes claques") .Erik Pevernagie
About This Quote
The idea of "cliques" and "claques" implies gossip and trash talk. It's true. We all do it. But the key thing to understand is that those who gossip and those who don't are still friends.
The point is not how we gossip but how we use it to build relationships. The key to being a good friend is being genuine, not fake.
