Stop BackBiting — It Is An Evil Act

We sometimes get carried away discussing other people’s affairs behind that back that it begins to seem like a normal thing to do. Well, it is not a normal thing to do and if you are guilty of this, it is time to stop and make more better use of your time here on earth. The young people always live as if they have all the time in the world, and the old wishes they could have more time to live longer and do greater things.

As such, the most important thing we want to get good at using is our time and one way to get good at utilizing your time is to add in some many great things such that there is only few time left for something not important. It is obvious that if we have so many important things to do, we would definitely not be in the habit of talking behind people’s back.

Ask yourself next time when you want to fall into the temptation of talking behind someone’s back, do I have something better to do with my time? If the answer is YES, then go do that important thing you have to do. But if the answer is NO, then you need to reanalyze how you spend your time everyday. Because having time to do so many not important things means we might overall not be doing really important things in our lives.

Believe me, it is fun to talk behind somebody, but imagine what if that person you are talking about is YOU. Would you feel good hearing negative things about you behind your back? Well, the answer is NO coming from someone who has once heard someone talk behind their back. When you feel like talking behind someone else’s back, talk about only the positive things you find about that person.

If you have not so good things to talk about, meet the person and discuss these things. And if you cannot meet this person and talk to them, write them an anonymous note, and if you cannot write an anonymous note, write an anonymous email, and if you cannot do any of that, continue to pray for the other person, maybe God would find a way to change the other person. But if you cannot do any of these, my advice to you is SHUT UP.

Understand that even if you talk behind the person, you are not necessarily creating a solution to the problem on ground. And the more you talk about problems, the more problems seem to germinate around us. Understand that the words we say are usually the fertilizers for our lives. Say good things and good things happen and say bad things, well, bad things happen.

Focus today on the positive side of things and be better than you were yesterday by talking only in front of people about what you feel about them. If you cannot do that, do not talk behind that backs. Imagine you do something behind someone else’s back, it simply means you are behind. If you want to be ahead, then speak in front of the person you are talking about.

Understand that we all make mistakes and sometimes we backbite, but make it a conscious effort to give it up today. Replace it with something more useful and your life would indeed become better. The world can indeed become better one person at a time, we simply just have to do something good today, or simply stop a bad habit.
