[Crisis & Awakening - V]
Gossip is sharing information about someone not present. The shared information often come with a moral judgment, which makes it mildly slanderous. The worst form of gossip seems to be for the purpose of personal advancement.
Consider how many times we do this: talk about someone not present with an air of moral judgment.
Almost every conversation.
A sign of renewal is a lost appetite for gossip. It’s hurtful. It’s (implicitly) self promoting. In its place is a growing desire for good story telling. About us. Our follies. Our joys. Our way of seeing the world.
