Indeed why gossip? Well, I always find it extremely funny that people may not have time to talk to you. They are that busy. They would immediately quote workload. They have loads of time to gossip about you though!
Indeed why gossip? May be, in the mediaeval era, life was indeed tough. There were not any means or modes of entertainment. Why, in Europe those days, poets were troubadours, and drama even in its most didactic form was not even thought of, while India was warding off invasions. Given such hard times, was there this formula of amusement possibly? Well, but why now in the twenty-first century? May be, most people refuse to grow up beyond their cave-inhabitant versions, I suppose!
Gossip is malicious. One cannot laugh it off by maintaining that people find you so dangerous to their careers or lives that they try to minimise/dim(inish) you through gossiping. Sure, one does ignore it completely because one's clean life, innocent behaviour anyways do not match up with the gossipmongers' lies. Gossipmongers fall flat on their faces for SURE!
The fun fact incidentally is that the term etymologically originated from "godsib", the christening godfather or godmother, responsible for you. By the seventeenth century, it got the current vicious meaning, which was cemented by the nineteenth century. With the advent of television serials and further the social media, I suppose, gossiping has got properly institutionalised!
The best way to deal with gossipmongers is to ignore them completely which sure irritates them more. For SURE. One can confront them the moment there is some concrete proof of their villainy because any ways they are cowards who cry hoarse about you behind your back! They would not have an iota of the daring to say anything upfront because anyways they are NOT upright! Cheap creeps, more to be pitied if at all one thinks of them!
Anyways, people who listen to gossips have to be equally brainless. May be, they so much lack character that they could harass you to please whosoever is influential or is a moneybag. Such people who thus allow themselves to be used are beneath contempt indeed! Not even worth a moment of your precious life!
Well, it is indeed best to remember that gossips have a very unhappy, unpleasant, unfulfilled life. So this need of theirs to find some vicarious pleasure through gossiping! Poor things! Must be pitied than despised!
Pratima@ Those who thus try to bring you down prove irrefutably that they are indeed low, and beneath you!!
