I happened to meet a person recently who was hot topic of gossip a few days ago( let me not name that person). But what I saw in that person was totally different than what people were gossiping. I realized instantly that people know nothing of this person. But why to gossip then ? Is it not that gossips gives us a kind of mental relief to all of us ? Is it not that we don't know anything about that which we are gossiping ? Is it not that we try to cover ourselves by gossiping about others ? I remember a spanish proverb, ' WHO GOSSIPS WITH YOU, WILL GOSSIP OF YOU'. And gossips becomes more intersting when it is based upon ill rumours. Bertrand Russell used to say that no one gossips about other people's secret virtues. We have made gossips also as one of our time passing measures. But do we get something out of it ? Yes, we get an inner satisfaction that at least someone in the world has done more wicked things than us.
Bottom Line : Abraham Lincoln once said that truth is generally the best vindication against slander. I told that person the same thing. So, O' stupid peoples ! Keep gossiping around. Your gossips are making that person stronger from within.

thanks for commenting. but u should try to find out where these gossips come from. all roads lead to rome.

@ripz
yes it's rome. it's a proverb isn't it. what i meant was that if a person just analyses himself/herself one can easily understand the source of all rumours and gossips
