Gossip, Gossip, Gossip?

Why do people like to Gossip? Their is nothing wrong with it, if it is positive, But it's mostly negative! It's at Work. In our place of Worship, In our neighborhoods, In Magazines, It's all over, I find Gossip to be Unkind, Unfair, Harmful, Hateful, Shallow, Slanderous, Malicious and Murderous. It seems to me that people these days are very miserable with their own existence and some how they have to find fault with others too make themselves feel good about themselves. You see if a person truly feels good about him/herself they usually don't look for faults in other people. They try to find the good in people, and if you can't find any good in the person, Then it's better to say nothing at all! Small People, Small Minds, have to Gossip. But then again these are some Dark and Ungodly times, So I guess it's to be expected!
