Simplified Meaning:
People spend a lot of time talking about others instead of focusing on more productive activities. This means that just like watching football or baseball, many enjoy discussing private matters of friends, family, or celebrities. For example, someone might spend hours chatting with a friend about their neighbor's divorce rather than talking about positive events or their own lives. This behavior comes naturally to us, almost like a favorite pastime. To avoid falling into this trap, it's important to steer conversations towards more meaningful topics. Doing so can lead to stronger relationships and personal growth, instead of just spreading rumors or focusing on other people's lives.
