Gossiping
Venus Cow says, "If someone you know is always gossiping to you about others, you can bet he or she will be gossiping to others about you."
Venus Cow says, "Cut out your wagging tongue."
Oscar Wilde once said there is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about and of course this is very true if what people are saying about you is the truth. Gossiping about others based on hearsay causes war, pain, misery and negative energy. It is human nature to entertain ourselves by gossiping about others because it stops us having to reflect on our own behaviour. We are surrounded by gossip in the media, magazines and TV who love to get us talking about the details of celebrity’s dirty laundry in order to destroy them and their reputation.
Venus Cow says, "Don’t spread dirt, spread some joy instead."
In many cases in schools across the land bullying depends on gossip, threatening the poor victim into complete social isolation. Spreading gossip is the biggest cause of misery for young people at school and this isolation is achieved by refusing to have anything to do with the victim because of race, religion, sexual bias etc. Bullies and gossips are just cowards in disguise, so next time you find yourself gossiping about your neighbour, take a look at your own life instead and see what you can do to make changes.
We must learn to understand just how cruel and damaging gossiping can be to others. Always remember the look on someone’s face when they discover what people were saying behind their back, it’s horrible. Slowing down your reactions and reflecting more before you speak will help prevent careless talk, giving you time to keep your mouth shut.
Go to your journal and make a list of all the people you need to stop gossiping about and why. Everyone is unique and just because you don’t agree with their choices, lifestyle, skin color, sexual preference, does not give you the right to air an opinion so get a life and stop talking about others.
Venus Cow says, "Learn to listen more and talk less."
