I used to be a gossiper myself, I figured out how harmful gossip is in 2005 and quit that ugly habit. Talking to your spouse or significant other is not gossip, but going around spreading a story that you don’t know all the facts about, or didn’t see it and weren’t even there, is gossip.

And what you hear on the news is almost never fully true or even at all true; always embellished, exaggerated, or manipulated.

Remember, the news is a FOR PROFIT industry.
