The issue of gossip

Dirt, mudslinging, hearsay and tittle-tattle are words synonymous with gossip. According to Encarta English dictionary, gossip is a conversation about personal or intimate rumors or facts, especially when malicious; informal and chatty conversation or writing about recent and often personal events.

That chatty talk about other people's intimate matters is now a favorite …

…the worst regarding another's actions, actually allow ourselves to believe that the evil we spread about someone won't really matter. Incredible that we can't seem accept the fact that the gossip we speak can, and often does, significant damage to that person. "Say good or don't say anything at all," as you might wake up tomorrow and find out that your mouth is sealed and then it will be impossible to take back your words.
