Gossip as I understand it is tales told usually about other people, either true or not, which are unnecessarily and/or potentially hurtful.I'm confused, thanks!
Amen! Sometimes our words will hurt people. Let us be sure that it is important to speak those words before open our mouths. In man's system they have what are called subpoenas so that no one arbitrarily searches your house or your records without your permission and without a very good reason. A subpoena gives someone legal permission to invade your private business and/or your secrets. Supposedly they would be issued to override your right to privacy only for a greater good...I agree with amadeus. amadeus is right, correct? I think if someone treats us badly and we tell others about it for their safety or for their well-being or good, it's ok, but if you just talk about someone bc you just like to talk about them or have bad intent then that is gossip
