the rule of thumb

"...so, do you gossip about people?"

"no, not really. most of the time i'll only share about my personal issues, and things relevant to them. i don't mind if they share my stories to others though, provided it would helps somehow."

"good then. keep in mind this rule of thumb: if you don't want others to know, never ever tell anything to anyone. you can discuss about people, but don't gossip about them. tell only facts, not rumours."
