DO NOT DISCUSS DEFECTS. The mind tends to discuss the defects of others. It helps the ego to feel good. Everybody is such a sinner; when everybody is such a sinner, comparatively one feels like a saint. When everybody is doing wrong, it feels good that At least I am not doing that much wrong. Hence people talk about others defects; not only do they talk about them, they go on magnifying them. Thats why there is so much joy in gossiping. When the gossip passes from one hand to another hand, it becomes richer. And when it passes back again, something will be added to it. By the evening, if you come to know the gossip that you started in the morning, you will be surprised. In the morning it was just a molehill, now it is a mountain. People are very creative, really creative and inventive. Why are people so interested in gossiping about others, in finding fault with others, in looking into others loopholes and defects? Why are people continuously trying to look through others keyholes? The reason is, this helps to give them a better feeling about themselves. They become Peeping Toms, just to have a good feeling, I am far better. There is a motivation. It is not just to help others -- it is not, whatsoever they say, notwithstanding what they say. The basic reason is, If others are very ugly, then I am beautiful. They are folloing Albert Einsteins theory of relativity.
