The Viral


We humans crave news, yet neither city papers nor parish newsletters really cover this fascinating beat of human conflicts, joys, sorrows, and flaws. Whether it happens around the water cooler, in the locker room, or via text message, we're all guilty of a little gossip now and then. Even the most virtuous do-gooders fall prey to some behind-the-back chitchat and take pleasure in them thus infact it is inevitable.
When our conversations come to a stand still and subjects such as music and art sounds monotonous gossip becomes the life-saver.
We humans have a lust for gossip.the sweetest sweetner for an evening tea would be gossip.but is gossip really immoral and wrong??Is there something called as harmless gossip??Once again i come down to ask whether gossip is a guilty pleasure or not??
Obviously it is.gossip can be harmless but it does not necessarily mean its right. The informal network often provides the only way to understand what is happening around us. We discuss with one another the latest scuttlebutt, trying to piece together some semblance of the truth from the rumors and events of the day.
Yet the network is dangerously flawed. Because gossip seldom slows down to document its quotes, it suffers progressive distortion as it passes from mouth to ear. We've all played the party game where the message whispered at the front of the line bears scant similarity to its end product. Further, gossip is nearly always one-sided. It tries a case on the basis of the prosecution's evidence alone.
As for me gossip is inexistent just like the air around us.it is inevitable and we humans are probably tuned to chit chat.yes its a never ending debate on its moral issues but a li’l harmless hush hush to spice our monotonous days would not be life altering i guess.
