Cliques and Gossip

Cliques become dangerous when they start isolating themselves from others.

Cliques become dangerous when they don't allow others into it. Internal jokes are all very well, but when someone else is present, it excludes them.

Some cliques make you feel comfortable, even when you are not part of them, and those are the nice cliques.

Cliques can be good or bad.

The tongue can be used to comfort. The tongue can kill.

I realize that working in a group isn't easy. There are people don't know what other people are doing, and pre-judge. There are people who kick others in the face because they want to cover up for themselves. The tongue is very dangerous.

The working world is going to be hard.

The people in my group aren't bad though. After all, we are a group. Groups have to stick together, somehow.

Why do people back stab? It's so evil. You want to tell a person off, tell them to the face. Argh, I want to learn not to judge people, I don't want to listen to gossip. Gossip that kills people's reputations, that puts others in bad perspectives. It's quite difficult to, and sometimes I cannot avoid it. Yet it's not easy to look at the speaker and tell him/her it is wrong, because everyone else doesn't seem to be troubled. Why can't someone put a good word in for the person, to balance the bad? Everyone has good points and bad.

The tongue can really kill.
