I heard Rory say, "Gossip hides in the shadows." Wow. That is so true. I believe when we confront it in love, it can no longer hide.
The key is "in love." Confrontation shouldn't be done to expose one person as wrong and another as light but to humbly reveal truth and give opportunity for change. Then, move on with forgiveness.
Really, the reason we gossip is because of insecurity. We feel (sometimes unknowingly) if we can expose someone else or cloud their identity, it will make us look better or give a common cause that binds us with someone.
