Gossip is the name of a deep rooted
illness. It takes its start when one sees the empty part of the
glass instead of the full part.
We all know that the biggest characteristics
in being extraordinary is to stay away from this concept which
is considered as a very negative quality in the society.
Unfortunately, after a certain point those
who have been dealing with some kind of negative work get
carried away with the lethargy of this powerful feeling and
they seem to loose their control. When we think about the
subject in the light of this fact, then we can accept that
gossip comes to the fore all by itself.
It is not possible to understand why some
people make the society accept this concept which does not
have any value and why they try to give it a form.
However, those who have common sense can stay
out of this incurable illness which tries to encircle them from
time to time and they can open a completely new page in their
lives. Whereas, the one who falls into the traps of this
illness gets destroyed.
The act of gossip is something about which
the humans who are in control themselves never want to think of
!…
This concept reflects a state in which one
makes another individual his target and in an irrespectable
manner says things behind this target person which he would
neither approve nor like. This is the outcome of an
insufficiency in the thought mechanism that enables one to make
a thesis and an antithesis. It gives a terrible knock down to
the person who is doing it.
The humans are insistent in refusing to
understand this dimension which has never left them all
history long and which still does not show any difference….
This quality has been described by Hz. Rasul
of Allah as
‘’Eating the meat of one’s sister or
brother!…’’
Gossip is an event with many aspects. It
never points out that the subject of gossip is logical. If it
points out something, then at the very most it would be
nonsense. In short, we can say that gossip prevents
to be homogenous. The participants’ approach to this concept
without having a deep look at the subjects and without making
an analysis shows this clearly. The friendship of the ones who
share the negativity is artificial and it is not real. They
cannot find the means to be creative/productive and they are
turning around within a viscious circle.
The best indicator for this is that they
never mention/speak about the mystical sensitivity about the
gossip and they do not act in accordance with the principals and
the rules.
The biggest misfortune for the ones who
gossip is that they are not aware of their losses because of
this big mistake and also they are not aware of the fact that
in the long run they are going to be responsible for this and
they would be questioned. Nobody suggests to behave in this
manner.
Although it is evident that gossip will cost
much for a person, it is really impossible to understand why
people keep on doing this negative act. In the society there
isn’t a warm welcome for such people.
Gossip causes a cut in the communication
between the people and in a similar way it becomes denser and
it becomes something that affects the whole society. The one
who has a tendency for gossip creates this possibility and as
soon as he finds the means he starts to be active without
losing time. However, the problems of the ones who think about
gossipping as a favorable aspect never seem to end. The limits
of the gossipping individual have already been set.
When we take a look at the whole it seems
that in many places all over the world the people have taken
their share of this negative condition.
On the other hand some people are after the
science/the knowledge and they do not run after the gossip.
They cannot risk the loss of time in compensating whatever they
are missing. The concept that we name as stability is valid for
them.
A believer knows that his real objective is
to live in gossipless surroundings and to get along well with
himself. It is a must to get rid of this disgusting situation
which creates tension among the social groups, which almost
divides the society and which tries to keep on the agenda what
has been done before.
It is impossible for every logical and
responsible individual to overlook
such a way of life…
