Gossip
Gossiping is very common
So you like to gossip and talk about people behind their back, riling your target up while you do. Spreading lies and rumours even though you really don't even know if they are true. And even if they are, what's the point of talking someone
down? You really only lower yourself to their level, so it's best to avoid it.
In spiritual terms, gossiping about someone means that someone is going to be gossiping about you. It’s called karma, in other words, you get back what you give. Gossiping is included in this law. You reap what you sow, or if you are
happy and you spread happiness, happiness will come back to you. Talking negatively about someone simply means that someone will be doing the exact same thing to you. Think boomerang, and you will get the picture.
Gossiping isn't so great now is it? Or is it? Maybe you can paint a more fiendish picture of the person, even though you are not in their shoes, had to see life through their eyes, or have their commitments and responsibilities. Maybe if you sink them in a sea of deceit and lies somehow you will escape this coming back to you because they really upset you.
Taking a step back and counting to ten is a good practice because kindness is really what makes the world go around.
The chances of the subject at hand really upsetting you diminish with time so much so, it's a good bet that you won't care anywhere near as much. This approach usually works, but what if somehow different people poke their nose where it doesn't belong and they continue to pry attempting to unearth old problems and make them new again? Those types of people are generally good to avoid. Why talk about old problems when you have moved past them long ago? And why is a certain person trying to re-ignite a fire that went out many moons ago?
There are a plethora of reasons why this type of behaviour is so common.

The person could simply be bored, or even lonely, or have just talked to an old nemesis thus creating the subject anew again. Whatever the reason, change the
subject, end the call, shorten the visit, and move on. Don't hang around with people that bring you down. |

Too many people harp on the negative. Everyone gets stuck in this loop from time to time, but part of the solution is to recognize it as fast as you can and pull yourself out of the mind gutter before it envelopes you. Be aware of these thoughts entering your mind. When you are aware of the thoughts, you are more advanced than you think. Meaning, you are not partaking in the gossipy conversation and have said enough! Now that's power.
Take everything you come across with a grain of salt. Usually there is a reason this has come into your life at that time, and you can almost always trace it back to the pattern of thought you are currently in, or were in the day of the event.
Thoughts are powerful. Part of the trick is to be aware of what you are thinking, why you are thinking it, and what good it does you. So keep them as positive as you possibly can in all circumstances, and simply do not partake in runaway gossip that doesn't do you or anyone else any favours on this planet.
