Gratitude Day 85 - To gossip or not to gossip?


The number of times I switched the purple bracelet yesterday? ZERO!


Dear Friends, 
There is a Farsi saying - Where you hear about others, you will hear about yourself!
We all recognise the perils of malicious gossip. However, in my latest readings, I learnt that effective gossipping draws people closer. Having the potential to breed trust, it strengthens our social ties; secures our place in the "circle" and gives us a warm feeling of belonging. Experts also suggest that the easiest way to find out about potentially harmful people or situations, especially at work, is to take part in group gossipping rituals.
I personally can’t engage in any such activity for what it's going to feel like an  eternity! (Was that a complaint?) You, on the other hand, go ahead, share your exciting "stories." (Nurse one for me too!)
I will continue to remain intrigued and grateful to explore further the pros and cons of complaining and gossipping. Undoubtedly, it will provide me with "juicy" material for a few more postings.


Have a social day and weekend everyone!
