It is so true, unfortunately we live in a world where gossip is king. Too many of us feel the need to belittle others, to make themselves look good. On the contrary, not only are you trashing another person, but your showing flaws, yourself. This illusion, to get ahead in life, one must kick their fellow neighbors to the curve-- is ludicrous. Undermining mankind is counter-active-- and it will come back to bite you!
