The Poisoned Apple By Erin Stratta Gossip is the food of the inquiring mind, or at least it seems to be. It is the driving force behind most of our first impressions and controls our views of many more topics than weUd like to admit.
News can quickly turn to gossip.
The media feeds our habit by spreading gossip about movie stars, political figures, athletes, anything that breathes, it seems. We have a fascination with talking about the lives of others. It has to come from somewhere, and we feel as though it satifies some need of ours. But that sounds much too virtuous, and gossip is anything but that. Or maybe itUs out of boredom that we find it necessary to embellish stories about other people.
