Ah, well, the truth is always one thing, but in a way it's the other thing, the gossip, that counts. It shows where people's hearts lie.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Gossip is called gossip because it's not always the truth.
Gossip needn't be false to be evil - there's a lot of truth that shouldn't be passed around.
Well, my whole thing with gossip is I couldn't care less if it's true.
I have always loved truth so passionately that I have often resorted to lying as a way of introducing it into the minds which were ignorant of its charms.
Truth is quite constricting, in a way. You endlessly see at the start of a film 'This is a true story'.
People can choose between the sweet lie or the bitter truth. I say the bitter truth, but many people don't want to hear it.
Gossip is essentially storytelling: storytelling about people whom we know.
We're always just telling stories, and stories are always just approximations of the truth. It's never the truth exactly.
Gossip is conversation about people.
Truth is a deep kindness that teaches us to be content in our everyday life and share with the people the same happiness.
