GOSSIP GOSSIP GOSSIP

Okay this looks funny, I know. But gossip actually is not a funny matter. I try to stay away from it. Gossip over the celebrity world is very common. It is all buisness. The media thrives, the newspapers and gossip magazines live from it, earning a lot of money. I don't know if some of those famous people get hurt from it, or if it is welcomed advertise for them - but we, who live in the normal world will certainly not profit from gossip.

It is very interesting that the Bible speaks about gossiping and condemns it:

“A man who lacks judgment derides his neighbor, but a man of understanding holds his tongue. A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret.” (Proverbs 11:12,13)

I found this at Wikipedia:

"Some see gossip as trivial, hurtful and socially and/or intellectually unproductive

Some people view gossip as a lighthearted way of spreading information

A feminist definition of gossip presents it as "a way of talking between women, intimate in style, personal and domestic in scope and setting, a female cultural event which springs from and perpetuates the restrictions of the female role, but also gives the comfort of validation." 

I agree only with the first opinion.

Gossip is always a negative matter - telling something good about a person is never gossip.

So, this is my last funny owl - so far :-)...
