Gossip is just a tool to distract people who have nothing better to do from feeling jealous of those few of us still remaining with noble hearts.

About This Quote

Gossip is an attempt to distract people from acknowledging their jealousy by making them believe the imaginary world of others. Gossipers may have no relationship with anyone at all, but they are always willing to tell everyone about the lives of other people. And it is because they are not happy with their own lives that they are so eager to spread the news about other people's lives. The gossip has nothing to do with you or me, but it is being spread for its own sake.
