Gossip Quotes: Show
me someone who
never gossips, and I’ll
show you someone
who isn ’t interested in
people. ~ Barbara
Walters
I got to thinking about the
power of words and how words
can hurt and even ruin people ’s
lives and/or careers. Such
devastating impacts result from
strings of words that spill from
people ’s mouths. A lot
it…..gossip. It makes me wonder
why gossip is so popular and I
came to one truthful conclusion.
When we mind other people ’s
business, then it deflects from
our own.
Gossip Quotes: The
things most people
want to know about
are usually none of
their business. ~
George Bernard Shaw
Now I ’d be lying if I said I never
gossiped. I think everyone does
to one extent or another.
However, I do try to avoid the
damaging form that never
results in anything positive.
Unfortunately, I have even been
the subject of gossip and it
hurts.
So how are people targeted for
gossip. I believe celebrities are
targeted simply by the nature
of who they are and the
profession they have chosen.
It ’s a hazard of the job, so to
speak. Other people are often
chosen chosen out of spite,
jealously, or to gain a
competitive edge.
Think about politics ….people in
this arena are great at
manipulating information to
make someone look bad. People
are also chosen for gossip
simply, because they are
misunderstood or different.
There are many reasons people
fall prey to gossip.
In my hometown, we have a
very prominent athlete who has
been the main subject of
speculation and gossip for over
a month now. He ’s been talked
about so much and in such a
negative way that many people
want to run him out of town. I
guess it doesn ’t help to play
for one of the most successful
football teams in the NFL. But I
have to say ….it’s been very
interesting reading everyone’s
opinion of him now. It makes me
wonder if he will ever recover
from his current situation. I
guess time will tell.
I guess the main thing I ask you
to think about when it comes
to gossip is this ….how is your
participation feeding this
monster and who will it hurt?
Following are several quotes
about gossip for you to think
about. Seriously read these
words of wisdom ….and never
forget that words can hurt.
