~ ON GOSSIPING ~
The introspective person
Places his spiritual welfare
Before all other things
And because he most diligently
Stays in tune with himself
There exists,
No gossiping,
No intrusions,
Into the lives of others
For there is no benefit
In prying,
He only arrives at a devout
Inner life
By tending to the self
And within his silence
He makes great spiritual progress
By freeing himself
Of all
Temporal cares...
----------------------------------------
Let nothing be considered great or important
Especially
Meddling in the affairs of others
It is the best way
To end friendships
And to miss out
On love's true offerings
For surely,
Gossiping does harm
To one's own soul,
Harm to its recipient,
And seeds the grapevine
(upon which it travels)
With cause
For anger
And God does not abide
Manipulation
Of our brothers and sisters
So,
Saith,
The world......
Tony Taylor

Brilliant Tony, I believe gossiping stems from the ego, it inflates the person's mind, distracting them, blinding them from true happiness, as you so rightly said.
A friend of mine always said that EGO is Edging God Out. Great write.
Hi there GERARD!!...I LOVE that!!.... hope you don't mind if I borrow that some time..... it REALLY has several levels to it that pack a big punch!!......thanx for sharing it here my friend!!..... your cyber-friend and admirer!!.....T xo ??✴?
Hello Tony...
Then there are those who are guilty and don't call it gossip...
Then there are those who encourage it and don't try and stop it...
Great write!
Thank you for sharing...
Hugs...

Oh Tony you have hit the nail on the head
My sister calls gossip conversation but as my
poem says we always agree to disagree.
And told her something once to keep to herself
impossible.
Gossip is cruel to say the least and gets even
bigger from person to person I am not a gossip
thank goodness.
Brill...…….write Tony your way with words is
exceptional.
Hugs Anne x
Hi ANNE!!.....gossip can be cruel indeed..... isn't it interesting how so often there tends to be one right in the family...... just to keep things interesting I guess...... fortunately, sometimes gossiping can turn out to be humorous too!!......thanx so much for sharing here ANNE!!.... always a pleasure!!...... your cyber-friend and admirer.......T xo ??✴?
Tony this is really truly the spirit of how to capture GOSSIP from every angle. It is one's second nature to do this no matter what a good person you are, people can drag even the best in>>>
