The art of gossiping.

The meeting up with some close friends and other acquaintances went well. After all, we all know each other in one way or other cause we have worked with one another at one juncture. Lesson learnt from todays meeting: People change. Some change too fast that its abit difficult for you to accept it but then again you know that the change was much needed and it is for the betterment of the individual. For that, hats off to you babe. You are just remarkable. You proved to me that nothing is impossible as long as you put your heart to it.

Anyway we were talking about people and there was this topic that came up on whether talking about people was right or wrong. I am not an advocate of gossiping but there were some issues that were brought up that I could not just agree with. So this was how our conversation went.

Frd 1: But isnt it abit wrong to talk? I mean dont care la. Their problem la. Anyway we dont even talk to them so why bother?

Me: Well, if you ask me, its a matter of how you look at things la cause if you refuse to talk about things, then you wont learn from it. Even if it is not who is directly involved in a particular situation, do you know that you can actually learn something outta it. If everyone is going to walk away from everything thinking that its none of their concern, then no one is gonna be a stronger person. Every single thing happens for a reason and everything is a lesson for us. I dont know la, if you ask me, you see a situation, you identify it and you talk it out with your pals. Then you take back whatever you need to from the entire thing. We are always learning something what.

Frd 3: But its like talking behind la.

Me: Aiyah, there is no such thing la.

Frd 3: eh, how come? got la.

Me: No la,whatever that is spoken at the back has to come to the front one day la. The person will know that people have talked about him/her.

Frd 3: Then how la?

Me: like that la. Thats why you and I are humans. Its natural for humans to talk. In fact, thats how socialisation starts. People get connected cause of people. And its always cause of other people who are the linking bridge. So relax, and give your two cents worth and do an immediate checklist on yourself. Then forget all about it. Thats all. No body asked you to spread rumours about people what? Ah when you do that, thats when real problems start to arise. Take everything as a lesson la. Anyway, nothing beats life lessons.

Friends (all): true true.

Me: Funny friends! eh but i never asked you all to agree with me ah. You can always slam me. Thats why we are friends.

Friend 2: Eh, hungry dei. food first la. haha!
