"Gossip is our dark moral fervor eagerly seeking gratification. Gossip
makes us feel important and needed as we declare our judgments. It
makes us feel included to know the inside scoop. It makes us feel
powerful to cut someone else down to size, especially someone we are
jealous of. It makes us feel righteous, even responsible, to pronounce
someone else guilty. Gossip can feel good in multiple ways. But it is
of the flesh, not of the Spirit."
- Ray Ortlund, Jr.
Read the whole article. It's very worthwhile.
