There is an old story about two types of birds.
The crow is the type that is attracted to dirt and filth. Wherever there is rubbish, I find the crow feasting noisily.
Then there is the swan. It sees only goodness and things of value. If there are pearls and pebbles, the swan easily discerns and selects the pearls.
To gossip, to lie, to use bad language is to have crow-like characteristics.
To see only the good in everything and everyone, to hear only what is uplifting is to have swan-like characteristics.
