Help others instead of judging

I am getting so tired of listening to people talking behind other people's back. If you have an issue with another person then go talk to them. Have enough respect to not spread lies, or misinformation, on anyone. I know it has happened to everyone, and myself. Instead of hurting and degrading, help to stop the wrongs of a lot of people.

A person I know told me that gossip is useless information. My husband told me that gossip is this quote: "Going to church doesn't make you a Christian anymore than flushing a toilet makes you, or anyone, a plumber."

Food for thought. Why can't people just treat everyone with respect and lots of love? Open arms, understanding, and most of all prayer, and the most important person God, himself. Yes I am a sinner, and God knows that I'm not alone.

Why can't people help, instead of being mean, and judging all the time?
