She who speaks doesn’t know
Why do people have to talk so much about other people?
No, forget that question, why they do is not as important as to why people listen to them. I have to agree with those who say the ones that participate in the listening of gossip are as guilty as those who spread it. I am guilty of listening to gossip at times as well, but I do ask myself questions about the person spreading rumors. I ask myself why they are saying what they say, and I ask myself what they will be saying about me when I am not around.
Something we all need to work on.
