Gossip is Part of Human Nature, Albeit One of the Worst Parts

Some of the best short stories are ones that teach us lessons. They tell us stories that make us think and put us there in the heat of passion and within the emotion of the tale. We feel as if we are one with the lesson, we are one with the characters and we feel their wisdom, joy and their pain. I know of just such a story one I would like to recommend to you.It's a short story and a lesson about gossip, about the damage it does and how it's impossible to undo. Gossip is something that all humans do, but in doing so they hurt what we are all about and they destroy the most wonderful emotional social strength between us. Gossip rips through our need to socialize, and outcastes individuals amongst us. And for what, what purpose does it serve? To best illustrate this important point I will now recommend a short story that everyone should read, hopefully they will read it before spreading gossip or destroying the personal integrity of another. Please read: "Gossip" by
Billy Graham This short story shows us an analogy that really hits the message and brings it home. Rather than me give away the whole story, because like I said it is a short one, I recommend that you give this story to anyone who gossips too much or says hurtful things behind other people's backs. Perhaps, this story will wake them up to the damage they do. They may not thank you for the message, but it will do the trick.
