Gossip. It’s something that nobody claims to like,but everybody enjoys for sure. From offices to marriage functions, during a chat in parks and almost everywhere, all of us indeed like to gossip, don’t we? However the only time when we dislike it is when someone gossips about us. So what is this whole communication pursuit that binds people and communities together and makes them forget all their worries and tensions?
Years of research by psychologists show that people who don’t feel good about themselves feel good when they share intimate details about others in social domain. It gives them a high and a feeling of superiority over others when they share stories about mutual acquaintances with a group of friends. So why make a big deal out of it? Well! those who claim gossiping to be harmless fail to understand its ill effects that are seen in the form of anger, and shame when they get to know that someone is spreading malicious news about their personal lives.
Today we see broken homes because of distrust between husband and wife,our interpersonal relationship’s have become sour due to unwanted rumours floated by our close associates. So is it really unharmful to gossip? One needs to have a second thought with an appropriate understanding of this.
If not gossip,then what? As social animals, we need to have something to keep our mind busy and status happy. The best and safe way in the present age to engage ourself is to talk to self, yes! It’s an art that helps us discover new horizons that are out of our imagination.
Why do we need somebody to share something? Instead why can’t we go within and talk to our inner self and dive into almighty’s ocean of love with an enlightened sixth sense. We look out because we are not able to dive within. Once we learn to do so, then there is no need to look out. Go and experience almighty’s love and affection and rejuvenate yourself physically and mentally.
