The one who is wise is free from wasteful talk about others.
Projection: When someone relates something to us about another person's negativity, we tend to listen to it with great interest. We, then, find that the other person is greatly encouraged to speak about it. But such waste talk is not really useful for anyone and we find that there is no solution for the problem at hand.
Solution: When someone is talking about the negativity in another person we need to question ourselves if listening to this is of any use to us or if we can do anything about the situation. If we cannot do anything we need to remind ourselves that there is no use listening to such waste talk. Instead we need to make an attempt to look at the positive aspect in the other person so that the other person can see that, too.
