Why do people gossip? Why do they talk behind smb’s back? Why can’t they say everything to the face of their enemies or maybe even friends? I know many people who behave like that. Perhaps, they are afraid to quarrel, perhaps, they are afraid to spoil their reputation. I am speaking about it because such kinds of people surround me too as well. That worries me much. I am not fond of making enemies, on the contrary, I am very easy to please. I do good for people for no special reason, because they are close and dear to me. I just want to help them when they are in a complicated situation. Do you know what all my kindness turns out to be? They don’t even say ”thank you”. All I ask is to be grateful to me, that’s all. When I learn that they talk behind my back, I am not glad, I am upset, I am disappointed. As a matter of fact, nowadays the more good you do, the more bad you get. It’s a bitter truth. People don’t value good treatment. They like flatter and sweet lies. That’s why, I help only my close friends besides my family and relatives. Somebody will think, I am mercenary. But that was enough. I don’t want people to be a burden to me. Do you agree with me or not? Why?
Some see gossip as trivial, hurtful and socially and/or intellectually unproductive. Some people view gossip as a lighthearted way of spreading information. A feminist definition of gossip presents it as "a way of talking between women, intimate in style, personal and domestic in scope and setting, a female cultural event which springs from and perpetuates the restrictions of the female role, but also gives the comfort of validation."Jones
