Gossip & The Effects
Gossip is used as a means to connect with people in a way that makes the gossiper feel empowered because they feel like they have a say in someone else's life, even when no one has asked. People are looking for approval, looking for attention, looking for a way out of how they feel, its like that good old saying, there is a high in being low, and people love to take others down with them, and sometimes they don't realizing they are doing that. I like the question Why do people Gossip, but I have another question that I would like to propose and that is what happens when people gossip? Here's what I've learned: Gossip is hurtful and it blocks the supernatural blessings in our lives. There are three ways the devil can destroy our blessings through gossip, and there are always 3 negative parts to the gossiping chain. 1. The gossiper: the negative effect in this situation is that the gossiper is speaking evil, which in return tears down their own future and the one being talked about. 2. The person being gossiped about, the negative effect on this person is that the people who are gossiping about this person has been tearing down this person's future and even their own future because gossip opens the door to curses in your life.3. The listener of the gossip, the listener may not even agree but once they have listened they have taken part in negatively effecting that persons future that is being talked about, sadly in return All people are getting hurt in the process, which stops the blessings that God wants to provide for that day. Thank you for letting me share. Any comments?

i agree and believe it to be TRUE! the gossiper want the attention, all eyes and ears turned toward them. any one who listens to the gossiper and spreads these rumors or vicious statements against other people is in the same is just as heinous as the person who gossips.

People usually like to gossip about something that someone else did so that put the other person down, and thus they feel like they have put themselves up. Like saying that "X and Y had a fight"--and because I didn't it makes me look better than them. Also, sometimes people spread rumors/gossip about people they're jealous of.

we gossip becase we like to feel ahead of the game "i know something you don't know" and if we can't come up with something truthfull we strech the truth and spread it as the truth. both are wrong and spitefull
