The only way to transcend sickness is to become sick of the sickness—and change. The only way to transcend the sickness of gossip is to stop participating in the gossiping. You don’t have to listen to it.
You don’t have to believe it. And you don’t have to spread it. You have a mind of your own. Don’t you? And if you have an issue with someone, you should be mature enough to discuss it with them directly. If you’re a target and victim of gossip, you have to know your own truth. You know what is real from what is not real about you. You know what is true from what is not true about you. Don’t you? Teach this to your children, because they will eventually face the sickness of gossip in this world — and it can wrap them up in depression, emotional drama, and turmoil. Teach them to be good, strong, and true and to not drop themselves to the energy level of liars. Teach them to be strong enough to know their own truth. Teach them to ignore the liars and be free. Teach them to laugh.
Gossip plays the function of ensuring that the unwritten rules of moral behavior are followed and that even if somebody isn’t breaking laws or acting criminally, the social repercussions are that if people gossip about you, there is an increased chance that social ostracism will be thrust on the individual that fails to conform to commonly held beliefs defining right and wrong behavior. People indulge in gossip because humans like talking, but it does also serve the function of acting as a deterrent to those who fail to conform to the unwritten rules of their society and culture. Give a round of applause to the most ridiculous answer ever. People indulge in gossiping for several psychological and social reasons: Social Bonding: Gossip can strengthen social ties and create a sense of belonging. Sharing information about others helps individuals connect with their peers and establish common ground.
Information Sharing: Gossip serves as a way to disseminate information within a community. It can help people stay informed about social dynamics, norms, and behaviors, which can be crucial for navigating social environments. Entertainment: Gossip can be entertaining. It often involves intrigue, drama, and humor, making it a source of enjoyment and a way to pass the time. Status and Power: Engaging in gossip can enhance one’s status within a group. Being in the know about others can create a sense of power and influence, as it positions the gossiper as an insider. Judgment and Moral Evaluation: Gossip allows individuals to express their values and judgments about others’ behaviors. It can serve as a way to reinforce social norms by highlighting behaviors that are seen as acceptable or unacceptable.
Coping Mechanism: For some, gossiping can be a way to cope with their own insecurities or dissatisfaction. By focusing on others, individuals may distract themselves from their own issues.
Cultural Norms: In some cultures, gossip is more accepted and prevalent than in others. Cultural attitudes towards gossip can influence how and why people engage in it.
Overall, while gossip can have negative consequences, such as spreading misinformation or damaging reputations, it also plays a complex role in human social interactions. This is an excellent article on gossip.
Gossip is a human sickness. Gossip is like an open sore, pus-yellowish green, venereal disease of the mouth. It drips, spreads, infiltrates, infects, and poisons the energy and minds of other people.
Who’s to blame for your own dissatisfaction and inadequacy? You are. Slandering others is a desperate and pathetic attempt at self-justification and self-vindication—to avoid facing your own shortcomings—and to avoid losing face. It’s an ego trip. It’s a power trip. Gossip is the manifestation of the human shadow—anger, arrogance, betrayal, coldness, control, disdain, disgust, dishonesty, false entitlement, false witness, fear, greed, hate, jealousy, negativity, specialness, and spite—the very things that loving kindness is not. Need I say anything more? OK. Gossip is the attempt to destroy someone else, in order to raise yourself up. Gossipers have a hidden agenda. Gossip is a malicious act of viciousness. It’s evil. This is the simple truth.
Gossip is the same thing as telling lies. Gossip is the distortion and perversion of truth because people embellish and exaggerate. Embellishments are lies to make things more entertaining and interesting than they actually are. Exaggeration is the misrepresentation of what is real. Not only do people embellish and exaggerate—they distort the truth with their own emotional dysfunction and rigid intellectual opinions.
Opinions aren’t necessarily based on any real facts, knowledge, or truth. That which is not based on fact is fiction. That which is not based on knowledge is ignorance. That which is not based on the truth is false. That which is false is deceitful. Gossip is a Deceitful Illusion from Devious Minds. It’s very simple.
On an etheric energy level, people who gossip usually have a black energy surrounding their mouth and a black lizard tongue that shoots in and out of their mouth. It’s their disdain and spite for humanity. Those who listen to them too long become infested by downloads of black fractal codes and resonances. It looks like etheric turds entering their crown chakras. Plop. It’s literally etheric filth spreading disease.
But you must also be cautious of the White Shadow, because the White Shadow is very clever at hiding their agenda and motives behind the facade of a theatrical performance in order to gain your allegiance. The energy of it is harder to see because the darkness of it is often hidden in layers behind their projection of perfection in catering to your ego and pacifying you, but the disease is still the same. If you could see that you were infesting your energy and mind with a disease, would you still do it?
You see, this world is full of Naysayers—Ego, Denial, Ignorance, Negativity, and Opposition. They offer neither creativity nor wisdom. They are content to accomplish nothing. They have little to no real-world, direct experience for themselves—but they are quick to pass judgment and hold contempt for others. They have no real life of their own, so they talk about the lives of others. It sustains their ego’s illusion of self-importance to bring others down. They have nothing of any real value to contribute to this world. If all you have to contribute to this world is the venereal disease of your mouth’s disdain, negativity, and lack of wisdom, then you don’t really have anything to contribute to this world. This is the simple truth. You are here to bring the quality of your energy into this world. Do you bring hate or love? Do you bring Darkness or Light? Don’t be afraid of what people may say.
You are here to experience things. Experience is what grants you understanding. Experience is the difference between those who lay in bed at the end of their days wondering what life was all about and those who actually lived.
Know Your Own Truth. Speak the Truth. And Don’t Let the Suckers Drag You Down
