Gossip is an ancient practice of intimacy that does not work. Instead of binding communities together, it ensures that some members of the community feel small, weak and fearful and other members feel momentarily superior. It dis-integrates communities of all kinds by replacing love with ideas opinions and preferences of how a human being ought to be instead of accepting and loving each person for being exactly how they are in any given moment. The love will help them to heal. The gossip will destroy us.
