Gossiping !

All of us have heard about scientists saying we use only 10% of our brains. So what is the other 90% doing ? 90% of our brain is reserved for an art that in our hurried daily lives we are fast loosing. The art of Gossip.

Apparently we need to gossip to come to terms with the pressures of everyday social interaction. And a sense of humour is so important to the Art of Gossip. In eastern societies there is an unsaid acceptance of the Gossip culture. Almost an addiction. For how would they survive some of the really harsh conditions with any form of dignity without a bit of Gossip and a sense of humour ?
To ease out the tensions and pressure of everyday life, and to ease yourself back into harmony with the community, and therefore with yourself . We have seen it all over, with the men around the Hookah in the middle east and with cigarettes and tea in Calcutta.

But as we physically move away from our roots, as we become more and more involved with the pressures of work, as families become smaller and smaller, and as TV and computers and the internet takes away time from the ultimate leisure activity that 90% of our brains are designed for – Gossip – what is happening to us as social beings ?
As we are finding ourselves more and more isolated, are we becoming more and more intolerant of each other ? Of each other’s points of view ? Are we loosing our identity as assimilated social beings ?

And  90% of our brains have become destructive instead of constructive and harmonizing.
