When you gossip, it's self-hexing. Because when you do it, it comes back to you. Everything starts with the word. The word is demonstrating a condition of the mind. If it's in your mind and comes out of your mouth, it will be created.

Everything that we say has consequences. I mean, words matter.
The tongue talkes at the heads cost.
