Journey in Life

What is "GOSSIP"? Well, the dictionary defined gossip as…. 

“Information about a person, true or false, that gets spread around".

Gossip can work like whispers, the original information can be distorted, changed and even made worse as it is passed on from one person to another..

You see, It’s hard to think of anything good that can come out of gossiping.  Gossip is popular because people like to hear big bad juicy things about other people.  It can give someone the feeling of power or popularity if they are able to join in this "bitching session" about someone who is "less" than them.   Some people even think if they keep everyone else busy enough with gossip about others then no one will gossip about them… IS THAT SOO?? 

Well, I think Gossip can also become a habit.   Making a bad comment about anything you hear can become a second nature, Don’t we all agree on this??  We have all gossiped before in our lives and we will do it again. A lot of a times, people often gossip without REALISING WHAT they are doing. 

You all will probably agree if I say that people gossip everyday.. and it’s not just we - women (although it seem much more oblivious.. ha.ha.. cant’ deny this.. ) that gossip nowadays, but men also tend to gossip although some of them did not realise it…(just admit it Guys.. C’mon.. Be a MAN..) 

Well, gossip is just a part of our everyday lives. But does people really realised that GOSSIP HURTS??  Some gossip is forgotten in a week, other gossip can lasts a lifetime.  But nearly all gossip is destructive.  It can wreck friendships and relationships…  It can cause problems in our working environment, It can put pressure on the things we do and the choices we make.  It can hurt people’s feelings, and cause one to have a bad self-image.  It can even lead to a depression.  Gossip has an effect to everything and anything.  Sometimes although I know it’s the nature of human beings, I just cant help wonder why some people just cant seem to keep their mouth shut when it comes to other people’s issues.

I mean, doesn’t these people realize by gossiping the other party, what damage it will do to the other party’s personal life?? Well.. I guess we all must really STOP and think to ourselves before we START (whether intentionally or not) to talk about other people’s business..

So hey.. Just remember this simple rule..

"IF YOU DONT HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY,

THEN DON’T SAY IT AT ALL"
