Sa mga nakakita at nakarinig ng awayang Pedro at Juan ... there are also two sides to a coin. Ang mga judgemental na mga mata at mapaghusgang mga tenga na hindi inalam ang tunay na kwento ng away pero sawsaw ng sawsaw ... at ang isang laksang tsismoso at tsismosa na imbis na makatulong dinagdagan pa ng mga twist and turns ang kwento for an added impact.
Ang inggit naman is a condition na kung ano meron ang iba ... dapat mas marami ... at mas ungos pa sila, If they don't get what they want ... sisiraan ka.
When you are jealous or envious of somebody... a fire inside you needs extinguishing. And one devious way of dousing the fire that is burning and suffocating your being is to start gossiping or spreading lies about the person. The goal is to reduce the speed sa parang bulalakaw na pagtingin at respeto ng mga tao sa taong kinaiinggitan.
Did you see the connection? If there is envy ... gossip is on the periphery. You resort to tsismis to bring somebody down ... and when you succeed... you feel better about yourself.
The hallmark signs of people predisposed to envy and gossip are: Poverty/financial insecurity, lack of confidence, rebuking yourself harshly, jealousy of somebody else achievements, extended idle times, having no hobbies or diversion, displeasure with the status quo and always singing that old refrain: "Me and me ... against the world."
