Malicious Gossip

[etvisitor7]

:angry2: One of George Harrison's best solo albums is "Cloud Nine", on which there is an important song he wrote, called "The Devil's Radio". Some of the lyrics go like this:

"Gossip, gossip...it's in your films and songs,

And all your magazines;

It's everywhere that you may go

On the devil's radio:

Gossip, gossip, gossip, gossip.....

I heard it on Satan's wireless....

Gossip, gossip.

It's white and black

Like industrial waste,

Pollution of the highest degree.

You wonder why

I don't hang out much:

I wonder how you can see!

It's all across our lives:

Like a weed it's spreads,

'Til nothing else has space to grow

On the devil's radio.

Gossip, gossip, gossip, oh yeah, gossip...."

..........................................................

Another name for gossip is 'backbiting', a major detriment to humanity's Spiritual progress. This is what the prophet Muhammad had to say about it: he asked, "Do you know what backbiting is? It is the disclosing by one of you of what he hates in his brother." A man said to him, "But what if it be in my brother?" The prophet replied, "If it be in him as you say, then you have backbitten him; and if it be not in him as you say, then you have falsely accused him of it."
