Rumour- mongering and gossip are the traits
of the ill mannered. It is only the idle
who-have time for it. This can cause
untold harm to society. How does it
begin? By those who take pleasure in other’s
pain. It is destructive mentality
Check the habit of interfering in other’s
business. As the Duchess rightly put it,
“if everybody minded their own business, the world would go round a deal luster
than it does”! How often we peep into
our neighbor’s house and their life! It
is so in our working place too.
‘Office cats’ are a menacing species; their
sole intention is to ingratiate themselves with the powers that be, at the
expense of their trusting colleagues. They
mix freely with their co-workers, collect information thus and furtively pass
on the same to the higher-ups.
The worst quality in a human being is the
urge to cast aspersions on other’s character.
Never say anything which will malign a person’s integrity. Women are targets for this kind of abuse and
often by women themselves!!
It is no doubt human nature to be
interested in other fellow beings. But a
well-bred person will channelise this into constructive interest by helping the
needy and cheering the depressed. If
they have no time for this, they must mind their own business, which is the
best thing that can be said about any person.
Remember that song, ‘Your business is your business and my business is
mine”!.
