Where did gossip come from?

Answer 1

One person says something that either has slight truth to it or no truth to it at all and then as more people hear the story it gets more destorted and further from the beginning. Ignorance and jealousy is also the beginning of a gossip story - someone that is jealous of someone or is just a hateful person starts stupid gossip and voila - so begins the gossip. Gossip is nothing but immature behaviour.

Answer 2
