The Truth About Gossip
When
talking about others is motivated by thoughts of ill will, jealousy, or
attachment, conversations turn into gossip. These thoughts may seem to
be subconscious, but if we pay close attention to our mind we’ll be able
to catch them in the act. Many of these are thoughts that we don’t want
to acknowledge to ourselves, let alone to others, but my experience is
that when I become courageous enough to notice and admit them, I’m on my
way to letting them go.
