The Bite of Betrayal

A truthful reflection on gossip

By Rohitha LankaPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

Thank you for gossiping…

That person is bad, that person is bad

How good are you?

Look back at yourself

Don't like each other

It's better to be different, live separately

Don't keep an eye on

How other people's lives are

Being born as a human, don't forget the kindness of others

If you help someone and they betray you

Don't be sad, you didn't make a mistake

But the one who makes a mistake is the one who stabs you in the back

No one will ever make a mistake

If one day you fall into misfortune, that means

They will receive help from us only

Once and there will be no more next time

Before gossiping, think of

When you came to rely on us for help

When the benefits are gone, you don't see the value

Forget everything you've helped each other

Raising a dog, it still feels grateful

The person who takes care of it gives it food and water to eat

Helping someone who is treacherous is no different than helping a venomous snake

"In the end, you'll just be a farmer and a cobra."

"No matter how good you are, it will bite you anyway."
