To expound. I see what seem like "normal" people around me saying all kinds of nasty things about their neighbors and friends. It sickens me, and yet, it appears to be seen as normal.
What's up with that? I find it hard not to do it myself when it appears to be seen as normal by those around me.
I'd like to stop the next person who tries that crap (spreading gossip), and do what can make them feel bad about themselves for being such crappy friends and neighbors.
Is it something that needs to be stopped, or I do I just need to come to grips with the fact that it's just something people do?
