I remember my mother and father telling me that whenever anyone is talking about you, good or bad....it means you are relevant. Being relevant doesn't equate to famous, or important, just interesting enough to be in conversation. When they stop talking.....the applause is gone and it's time to pass the baton....and then... sit down. This must be one heck of an exciting life if it's riddled with applause and baton passing! In this writer's opinion, keeping negative comments and criticisms in check will help keep negativity out of your life. Saying unkind things about other people, attracts negativity to them....but ultimately Karmic consequences to the person saying the negative things. It can be instant and observable and create fascinating character flaws to keep my protagonist in complex yet interesting circles, for hours.
It's the stuff novels are made of!
