Although most of us lead busy lives, we somehow find the time to talk about other people. Sometimes gossiping becomes one of our favorite past time. Not that we don't have things to worry or work on in our own lives, but it seems more interesting to share our opinions of others amongst our closest friends. We become self appointed experts in relationships, career, and fashion. If anyone would listen in on these conversations, they would be surprised at the intensity of emotion that is spent. If we were to stop gossiping and take care of our own business, think how different our life would be. Know that when we speak ill of others, we detract from the goodness that is within us. Today, stop talking about others. At the end of the day, reflect upon how easy or difficult this was for you. Instead of gossiping, use that time to catch up on how others are doing. It's important to use our time wisely and just let others be.
It's hard not to talk about others when we're with friends...
(I'm not sure why we spend time talking about others. I know it's not a good way to spend my time, but when someone starts it's not like I leave or change the subject. All I know is that this is something I have to think more about more.)
