gossip... pssst... it kills.... heh, does it??

i am not going against anybody...
i just want to share some thought. some naughty thought i may call it.

i bet you all know what the subject means. or at least most of you.
it kills, they said. but does it really kill?
or it is kind of two edged sword. which can kill with one side,
and save others with the other side.

the case i found today really made me even more confused about this whole idea.
to make us look this problem with the same perspective, i'll tell you an example:
let say, there is one of your good friends come to you and say.

'hey dude,do you know Bob? he is taking drugs now, apparently i am the only one that knows about this.. but you know what? i cant really tell him to stop..'

and, what happens if you dont tell somebody to do something about it?
well, if you do tell others, you will committ gossipping. and it's a crime i suppose.

or even listening to your friend story actually already make you do part of gossiping
so probably you may want to do the 'psst motion' at that time.
funnily it will make things even worse. because you would never know the problem in the first place.

and it may be a bit too late, when you see this Bob making his special appearance in papers tmr morning.

now, i heard something surprising this noon.
i forgot to apply the 'psst motion' because i was too excited enjoying my chicken rice, and a bit too surprised with the news which tempted me to listen more.

after listening to it. i dont know what to do.
i cant really go there and talk to the object because i never heard from itself.
i also cant really go to someone else to share this problem.

i still wish the problem is not that serious.
and wish it could do self-recovery,
and if it couldnt, hopefully nothing bad happens until the time it is revealed.

If I can conclude, I'd say that gossipping that involves "bad-mouthing" on ppl, is the one considered as the killer goss.

However, care and conviction with very good intention that's based on love to give a good input to build someone, is the non killer goss.

The diff is in the enjoyment we took in sharing the gossip.
We share it coz we really do care on someone, and will do something to change the situation involving them, or we share it without any good intention, juz coz there's no other topic, or so that we can be well known as Mr.Ms Gossip (which is wad I'm well known at)

hehe :P sulitz....

yup. agree.
but, the thing is that with the psst motion, we will kill the gossip even before it can help.

you will never know which gossip has which effect right?
because i might not know about the startling news in the first place, if i applied the psst motion rite?

haha.
i have a formula for this though.
that is this life does not really allow any formula that you can always use...
bible.. you can use it though,

I agree that when the psst motion is applied... we kill it even before it can mean a thing..

that's why I nv apply it... haha :P

juz praying for a heart that can discern the kind of gossip :)
