I laughed at my niece’s bbm status which says, like “okay let’s pretend we are still best friends, and lets pretend that i don't know what u are doing behing my back!”. (She is in high school btw). I laughed. I showed it to my friends, and told them “thank god we left high school”.
But really?
Recently me and my friends got caught gossiping other people. It felt like shit. Not that im afraid of that person we gossip about. But the fact that we, I, gossip. That is soo not cool. In fact, that is so high school.
Guess we never leave that place.
Ironically, a few months ago, I did this internship in a local newspaper . there, i found something related to what I was saying. At my first day interning, My supervisor told me that working is way harder than college. When u do something wrong at the office, whether it’s true or not, people will talk about you. Much worse, people at the office talk about your personal affair. Whenever someone has something to tell, she will drag someone else to the pantry and tell the news. I call it “pantry situation”. A few days later, gossips pouring to my ears.
What’s all of this?
We talk about other people a lot, and make fun of them. I realize that the worst part of it is that I’m not the victim of the social life I am in. I dont blame my friends for it. I realize that I ENJOY all of those. like I can’t help it. Sometimes I (gosh I can’t believe I admit it) hunger for gossip. I am such a gossip!
It cause drama just like in high school. Maybe we don't do physical bullying as much this age, but we do this verbally. We talk about other people behind their back, and think that we have all the rights to do it, and laugh at it, and it hurt others.
Okay, let’s go back to the second paragraph. I got caught gossiping!. At this point, I feel ashamed of my self. I should have realize that I have option. To be more mature. To let people doing whatever they want to do. And to not really care that much if it isn't helping.
And I really have no rights to talk about them. Who am I? Some perfect god from the sky? No I am not. Just a miserable guy who thinks that he is better every time he sees others flaws. Sad.
