Gossip?!
Recently, I have encountered with a group of gossips. Not directly, but it was still surrounding my vicinity (around a friend and / or family). And it got me to question myself a few things. One of them is why people gossip? It has been a while of me trying to find the answer to this question but to this extent I still haven't find the sure answer. I've made a few assumptions but I am not sure if it is true or not but I just want to write it here to kind of lecture myself and remind myself to not get close to any gossip or be involved in gossip of any kind.
I have heard very mean gossips and rumors about things regarding a few of my close people. And I thought that it was very mean, very immature, and I assume that those people who did spread those are very idle, indeed. Because, I mean, people are busy. And we don't care about the whats and latest whats about other people other than our closest friends and family, at least for me. That concludes that these people who spread these malicious gossips have nothing to do with their time that they decided to create a story to have something to talk about.
I just do not get why sometimes people can be very mean in saying things especially about the things that aren't true that they made it up themselves. Creating mean stories and assumptions and spreading them to people who are innocent and making them believe those to be true. Isn't that a malicious thing to do?
The funny thing is that sometimes gossips can be nice to the victim of gossip. They try to be the angel and try to be the good person. They pretend that they do not know the gossip or rumor of any kind and act like very nice. Too bad all that are fake and acting. But thinking about it though, for instance I do not like A. I would not be nice to A and let me tell you, extremely nice?! That is not possible for me to do. I do not know if their acting skills are good or they are just extremely fake. Yeah, I do not get it but sometimes in some cases people are just like that.
If I were to rant more about this subject of gossiping, I am afraid it will be too long. But just for my own information, I want to remind myself again to stay away from gossips or gossiping. To any reader of this post, I also would like to tell you to be careful and wise in choosing friends. Be friends and be with people who bring you up to a better level, not to be and act lowly. Note to self, don't lose yourself in friends. Have integrity and stay alert. Be with people who help you grow, not make you an immature being.
XOXO,
Nicole :)
P.S. To all the gossips out there. Please stop. Just stop. It's not good for you and also it hurts others. Thank you :)
