The tendency to gossip seems to me a primordial “side dish” of their existence

To some people, the tendency to gossip seems to me a primordial “side dish” of their existence. It made me stop sometime and try to put the robe on me, reflect on it and really think about it myself, real hard.

I usually ask myself if this has been something I do in retaliation to this hideous habit of those around me. I have seen other lives crumble right before senseless gossiping (is this a complete oxymoron – for I find sensible gossiping ridiculous).

One of my colleagues made me think about her being ticked off about people’s tendency to peek their nose on other people’s business. I had this experience before when I was freshie in our workplace and someone (I don’t even remember who he was or what was question all about) asked me about something I found a bit too personal. All I remembered was his reaction to my response “why is that your business” said in a very cheerful way.

The guy never actually made no further attempt to cross my line; I don’t even remember his name so I guess he got himself so distant that he was just one of those insignificant people I met.

Gossiping is a dark habit with danger written all over it. It weakens any man’s character no matter how entertaining it may appear.
