In response to Raiissah's Post on Gossiping!

In Raissahs' blog she has raised the topic of gossiping, and I have to agree...people gossip because it is fun!

But I think we gossip for other reasons as well - gossiping allows us to discuss trivial, subjective opinions and views, find out juicy information about other people and help us to form bonds and relationships in social situations.

But of course, much of the content is distorted in truth, either intentionally, or niavely, such as the effect of 'chinese whispers' or misinterpretation, and therefore, gossiping may lead to friendship fallouts or arguements!

I think that most of the time, gossiping is harmless, and allows us some relief from intellectual thinking and conversations. It gives us a chance to 'let off steam' and just enjoy a bit of chit chat about anything and everything!

As wikipedia is a site renowned for its subjectivity, falseness and misleading information, I thought it would be ironic to read its definition and information regarding gossiping!
