Gossip in social and work life
    #5242005 - 01/30/06 12:55 PM (18 years, 1 day ago)

saw this as an ethical debate on msnbc...

should it be done?

is it all bad?

could it be bad if one does or does not partake?

i'm thinking it is all situational judging by who you're talking to and what you're talking about. ((also another thing to consider is the perception of the talk-ee on what you're talking about))

I hear some guy told me that chicks really like to gossip alot, and this other fellow went on and on about how the female sex was inferior and full of superficial crap which they spewed out on command, without command and to a certain extent eternally.

Once, this guy I know was discussing the meaning of gossip to himself, and realized that if you don't have a general interest of people, and what people do to themselves and eachother, you have absolutely no hope of ever finding it remotely interesting to live in a society ruled by the powerful and trance-inducing electric device called television(which by the way was invented by so many people you don't know who to blame).

Then again, this other friend of mine said that gossip is the layer that pollutes the mind from your own impeccable thoughts of self-gratification and godliness - which again is refuted by another acquaintance of mine which states with a rusty and nervous voice that you need constant input to be able to shape the big picture, and see whats really going on.

If you mix all this gossip together, we will come to the grand conclusion that everything I say is gossip.

NEXT!!!!!

depends if your creating negitive or postive energy with your conversation 'gossip'

if your using gossip to judge someone else, someone elses' actions, or charecter i think thats a little shallow. i mean no ones perfect.

but if your i donno talking about how great someone is, or even if your just disscusing an issue, but keeping an open mind, i dont think that would cause harm.

i really try hard not to make judgements, but then again, im not perfect either :P

The gossip I've experienced at work has been really petty and uncalled for. Being that I shared almost nothing in common(other than recreational drug use) with the people I worked with at my last job(I'm currently not working) I mostly kept to myself. I'm naturally a shy guy, and alot of people there interpreted this as arrogance, and of course gossiped about it. Most gossip at work is unnecessary and just ends up in people resenting thier coworkers.

i don't know, i suppose it really depends on the quality of the information being shared with me. for example, somebody told me this week about an intimate and personal sexual experience in a very vivid way that expressed their inner most heart throbs and pleasures and fantasies to me, which was a real turn on. then also, while sitting at the bar somebody pointed out somebody else and told me that they were getting f***ed at an after hours party in a sling at 5am and nobody crashing there could get any sleep. the latter of which could have served as an amusing anecdote, if done in good humor, style, and anonymity, but it wasn't really any of my business to know that fact about that particular person. now, if i happen to meet that person and we strike up a conversation, it will take some extra effort to not let that little piece of BS that will be swimming in the back of mind surface into my thoughts while attempting to focus on getting to know that person. i do my best to try and purge all incoming habitual mind garbage from my system ASAP.

Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.
