      Why You Gossip About Others - Dr. Leland Benton

      Introduction – In a War of Words There Are never Any Victors Only Losers

      Gossip is a cruel form of bullying and I will discuss in detail in this book why people gossip and how to overcome the gossip when it is about you.

      Beginning in Chapter 2 thru 5 I will present to you a series of articles that represent how the mental practitioners today view gossiping.  In other words this is the norm or what we call in science the placebo of today’s views on gossiping.

      Chapter 2 – Gossip & Rumors: Why People Do It

      Chapter 3 – Gossip & Rumors: Why It Hurts & Why It’s Wrong

      Chapter 4 – Gossip & Rumors: Breaking the Chain

      Chapter 5 – Gossip & Rumors:  When the Rumor’s About You

      Then, beginning in Chapter 6, I will present our current research conducted by my Applied Mind Science research facility.  For over a year, we conducted a series of studies to determine the true causes of gossiping and bullying and what we found is truly amazing.  But in order to really understand our findings, I need you to study closely Chapter 1, which is the foundation chapter that appears in all of my Why series of books.

      Our studies were triggered by the recent spate of bullying and the resulting violence of mass murders.  Our children today are under assault and it is mandatory that we get to the bottom and root causes of these problems.

      In my book, Bully America, I address the act of bullying in detail so in this book I will be directing the focus on gossiping.

      Bully America

      \The question of why has been a part of the conscience of man since the dawn of time.  It has caused us to seek answers, better solutions, invention, progress, increased knowledge and more. 

      But more often than not, most of our questions of why now centers on personal behavioral traits and habits that perplex us and cause us consternation and regret. 

      Candidly, most people have no idea why they do the things they do so in this book – the ninth book in the Why series of books – I am going to explain in detail why you gossip and bully and how to stop it.

      The subsequent books in this series will deal with specific behavioral traits and target certain conditions that really are bothersome.  To wit:

      Why You Are Greedy

      Why You Are Immoral

      Why You Are In Debt Up To Your Eyeballs

      Why You Are Lonely

      Why You Are Unhappy

      Why You Fail In Relationships

      Why You Get Angry

      Why You Gossip About Others

      Why You Have Bad Habits

      Why You Lie, Cheat & Deceive

      Why You Overeat

      Why You Procrastinate

      Why You Smoke

      In all of the books of this Why series, Chapter 1 always begins with Laying a Proper Foundation and deals with the mechanism of the human mind and how the mind functions both conscious mind and subconscious mind.  This is a very important chapter and as I said previously, please study this chapter closely.

      I will then teach you how to change the subconscious mind’s belief systems.  In other words, the Introduction and Chapter 1 will appear in the entire Why series of books as the foundation.  From Chapter 2 on, I will then discuss each book’s specific topic in detail.

      It is important to note that there is no such thing as personal versus commercial behavioral science. 

      The human mind uses the same mechanism in both personal situations as well as commercial. 

      The way each individual employs their respective psyches is what is different. 

      For example; we all have cars but we all have different driving habits and drive cars differently. 

      Hence, in a personal situation, i. e. relationships or a commercial situation, i.e. addicted to shopping, the human mind employs the same mechanism and the corrective protocols used to correct any of the situations described in the Why series of books will be similar.

      So let’s get to it…

      Chapter 1 - Laying A Proper Foundation

      In all of my Why series of books, I will provide the following discourse on the Human Mind in order to lay a proper foundation to what I am about to teach.

      The Mechanism of the Human Mind

      Prior to the fall of man into sin as described in the Garden of Eden, man’s spirit was hooked to God’s infinite spirit.  There was no death because God’s spirit is infinite.  Man is the only animal on earth that shares the eternality nature of God.  The subject of eternal life has been a heated topic of man from the beginning of our existence. 

      In Greek mythology, there’s a story about a mortal youth named Tithonus.  Aurora, the goddess of dawn, fell in love with the boy and when Zeus, the king of the gods, promised to grant Aurora any gift she chose for her lover, she asked that Tithonus might live forever.  But, in her haste she forgot to ask for eternal youth, so when Zeus granted her request, Tithonus was doomed to an eternity of perpetual aging as a grouchy old man… forever.

      In the movie Highlander, Angus McLeod was born in 1518 as an immortal being.  He could not die and to me, the best part of the movie was the depiction of this immortal's agony here on earth as he watched everything he loved die forcing him to begin his life over and over again. He saw all of the ugliness, which man had caused over four centuries.  He witnessed the Spanish Inquisition, Waterloo, the atrocities of the Third Reich, and more.  He saw the slavery and bigotry of the eighteenth century, the slaughter of the Native American tribes after the Civil War.  This man's life was a living Hell! 

      There is a very big difference between the ways our feeble minds picture eternal life versus God’s idea of eternal life.  Our understanding comes from Quantum
