The say the most dangerous weapon in the world is the tongue, I will have to agree. You will often hear me say that “acid does more damage to the vessel then what it is pour upon”, you will find there is no more truer statement.
When you harbor and spread words of harm upon an other by gossiping, remind yourself that you only harm yourself. For if your courage is not big enough to speak your words to the person you are speaking of they will never reach their ears and if your words should find them, by the time they get there they will be watered down of emotion.
For isn’t the purpose of saying something to make change, understand, question, uplift or dilapidate another? The vacancy of gossip never resonates. Your words are empty when spoken in anger and behind the back of another. If change or anything other is your goal, then have the strength to speak to the person directly.
I always say it best to be still and silent for a while before speaking your words. I do not believe that gossip will ever be a productive weapon, making the tongue extremly dangerous for both the speaker and recipient.
Use your words to better a situation and try to uplift the person you are upset with, by doing so you open the door to communication and that is when your words will be heard and valued. If you don’t like someone, it is okay just move on their our billions of other humans in this world. When you find that gossip is slipping your lips, pause and ask is this the character I want to represent me. For when you gossip to me I always assume you would do the same to me, if my back was turned.
Be gentle and kind in your words, for they define how others look at you, and at the end of our life’s journey , the only person standing there is you, so be true to you and be proud that you know you are a good person.
