Gossip
Question
Hello and blessings,
I would like to know what is the definition of gossip?
If I tell someone that so-and-so said about you... such and such - even good things
Is this considered gossip?
Thank you very much!
Answer
Hello,
Gossip is the act of stirring up disputes and hatred between people by passing words from one to another.
If you say that good things were said about him, this is not gossip, but rather bringing peace between people.
