Gossip is destructive to relationships and reputations, it gets people to judge others unrighteously without any hesitations. We're all guilty of this sin without a doubt, I believe people start gossip to try and earn some clout, or to get others to fight against each other while they scream and shout. If you struggle with this sin there's a way out definitely for sure, asking the creator and His Son(Jesus) to show you how to see others and how to love them better is the cure. Just give it a try? What do you have to lose? Next time you think about gossiping about some person always remember you have the right to choose.
