Is it still considered gossip if you don’t mention somebody’s name?  I mean, I could be talking about anybody, right?  It may not be the person you think that I am talking about.  In fact, t’s probably not the same person because what I describe could apply to so many people that it would be virtually impossible to know exactly who I was talking about.  Unless I tell you, which I’m not going to do.  In a world full of  sports, entertainment, politics, music and social media, we are bombarded with a dizzying array of personalities.   Not to mention every person we know or ever knew.  it’s impossible not to have thoughts…So I will share my thoughts about some people, but I won’t mention any names because i don’t want to gossip. I suppose I may be sinning in other ways but at least I will try not to gossip with some of these thoughts I will share: I won’t mention any names but these are some things that are bothering me:

I won’t mention any names…but I think he is the most self absorbed person I have ever seen

I won’t mention any names…but I think he is such a phony.

I won’t mention any names…but I think lying is second nature to her.

I won’t mention any names…but that guy is literally out of his mind…and dangerously so.

I won’t mention any names…but to me, she is a racist.

I won’t mention any names…but I really don’t think he is very talented.

I won’t mention any names…but they are not funny…Not even a little.

I won’t mention any names…but I don’t trust him as far as I could spit…and that is not very far.

I won’t mention any names…but behind that smile I think he is really a very sad, unhappy person.

I won’t mention any names…but, who cares what they think?

I won’t mention any names…but I think he does what he does because he is, at his core, an angry young man.

I won’t mention any names…but who do they think they are talking like that?

I won’t mention any names…but he is afraid of not being liked.

I won’t mention any names…but they deserve each other…and not in a good way.

I won’t mention any names…but they could use a little humble pie.

I won’t mention any names…but if I have to listen to her for the next four years…

I won’t mention any names…but I don’t get what people like about her.  I just don’t see it.

I won’t mention any names…but I find him to be hard to listen to…and to look at…and to be around.

I won’t mention any names…but I feel judged every time he opens his mouth.

I won’t mention any names…but if they would say something positive maybe people would listen to them.

I won’t mention any names…but I can see that things are never going to change.  Never.

I won’t mention any names…but when he opens his mouth I have a visceral reaction.

I won’t mention any names…but he made his bed, now he has to sleep in it.

I won’t mention any names…but she is chained to her past and it informs everything she does.  She is enslaved.  So sad.

I won’t mention any names…but she looks angry all the time.  And unhappy.  If she smiled her face would crack..

I won’t mention any names…but I think he is full of hot air.  He loves to hear himself speak…about nothing .

I won’t mention any names… but if they are not talking about themselves then they are not talking.  Or listening.

Shalom,
