By chance I stumbled on this post and this website.  I'm sorry I did.  I have never seen a bigger bunch of negative people in my life.  This will be the last time I come here.  Get out of your office and sell something and life will get better.  That's what I'm going to do.


Finally, basically this site is a cesspool for gossip.  Whether you are a budhist, athiest, agnostic, Christian, Jew, Muslim, gossip will never and can never bring anything but negativity and bad karma into your life.  Most religions, IF you believe in God, consider gossip paramount to murder.  You are basically killing their lives on earth.  You may have found someone difficult but as the old saying goes, two wrongs don't make a right.   Get a life.  Get off this site.


[edit] In ChristianityThe Epistle to the Romans associates gossips ("backbiters") with a list of sins including sexual immorality and with murder:


28: And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29: Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30: Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31: Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. (Romans 1:28-32)


In JudaismMain article: Lashon hara


According to Proverbs 18:8: "The words of a gossip are like choice morsels: they go down to a man's innermost parts."


Judaism considers gossip spoken without a constructive purpose (known in Hebrew as lashon hara) as a sin. Speaking negatively about people, even if retelling true facts, counts as sinful, as it demeans the dignity of man — both the speaker and the subject of the gossip.


[edit] In IslamIslam considers backbiting the equivalent of eating the flesh of one's dead brother. According to Muslims, backbiting harms its victims without offering them any chance of defense, just as dead people cannot defend against their flesh being eaten. Muslims are expected to treat each other like brothers, deriving from Islam's concept of brotherhood amongst its believers.
