Never talk about others in a
negative manner. Any information you spread that could tarnish reputations or
diminish one's worth must never be a subject of conversation. Sadly, malicious
gossip spreads like wildfire because of its sinfully delicious nature (like
triple chocolate cake). We often engage in it consciously or otherwise without
realizing the repercussions.
Yes. Gossip hurts people.
Negativity hurts people. (Thanks Captain Obvious!)
How about those who spread rumors
or information with the intent to "destroy"? Why do they do this? Is
it because of a past wrongdoing? Is it because of jealousy? Is it because of
the twisted happiness they get from thinking that they are much better than
their target (e.g. I must be happy. Well at least happier than this guy who is
such a miserable dishonest-maniac-ugly-freak!)?
Pathetic. I have witnessed how
this kind of behavior destroys everything valuable- friendship, belief,
self-esteem, faith and trust. There are no winners. Your target gets hurt. You
eventually self-destruct when you realize you destroyed that minuscule ounce of
goodness you had just for the taste of dark pleasure you derived from crushing
others.
I for one have made a conscious
choice to avoid any negative talk. It may be hard to do but I'd rather build
someone up than tear someone down.
One important resolve: Do not say
anything about someone that you can't say to his/her face
