Anti-social disease (Gossiping)

There is this one thing that all of us are doing most of the time. And the thing is - to talk about other people. And that too in derogatory way behind their backs to maim them of their actual image. But why?

I guess the gossiping keeps us connected and also when we gossip about other's shortcomings, we feel better of ourselves. well that's how we feel but is that so?

Absolutely NOT! The more we gossip of others, the more inferior we reflect of our own character. Our weakness of not being able to handle other's good and bad draws our unnecessary attention to gossip, which is totally bad both morally and ethically.

Societies are divided due to this anti-social disease. The act of gossiping is so addictive; catching almost everyone in a snowballing effect.

Truthfully reporting to others the immoral and depraved behavior may indeed be essential. But if we aren't careful to contain our judgement to maintain a compassionate stance towards the person about whom we speak- we risk of being slandered ourselves.

We have a saying in Bhutanese custom which goes, 'Never share filth when in harmony for one cannot repent later in clash.'

Hence giving second thought before talking about others behind their back. After all great talkers are never great doers.
