Gossip is the act of spreading intimate or private rumors or facts about other people. One who derives pleasure in gossiping is called a gossip.
Gossip is an idle talk engaged by idle minds who always snoop around to know what is happening in other people’s lives. A lot of times, people who gossip are less concerned whether a story is true or not.
Engaging in gossip is time wasting for the gossip and can be harmful to the reputation of its victims.
Despite the negative effects of gossip, there are people who do not see anything wrong in it. In fact for some people, it is a way of relaxation and catching fun.
Whichever way you choose to see gossip, it is always important to bear it in mind that you could be hurting somebody’s reputation anytime you engage in it.
