It is so easy to gossip. However, gossip only causes harm and is never good when considering the subject. I want to build people up, not tear them down.

I would say, "Auntie, what I'm about to tell you please do not let
anybody else know." 

That was the clue I needed to stir her up and spread this gossip for
weeks. 

Looking back on some of the pranks I pulled on her, I am a little
regretful. She was an easy target, and I played her more than I should 
have. 

The problem was that nobody believed what my dear old Auntie said. The
only one who really believed her was her sister, my grandmother. 

After she passed away, the town gossip quieted as never before. People
couldn't get the daily gossip they once did and didn't realize how much 
they depended upon Auntie's gossip. 

Sitting in the mall thinking about Ms. Gossips-A-Lot, I was reminded of
what Solomon said in Proverbs 20:19. "He that goeth about as a 
talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that 
flattereth with his lips." 

I did not know my great-aunt very well. I only saw her occasionally. I
did know some of the people around her, and they did not have anything 
too good to say about her. If my great-aunt had known what the people 
thought about her, she might have toned down her gossiping a little. 

It is so easy to gossip. However, gossip only causes harm and is never
good when considering the subject. I want to build people up, not tear 
them down.
