“没有柴，火就熄灭； 没有搬弄是非的人，纷争就平息。”
箴言 26:20
“For lack of wood the fire goes out, And where there is no whisperer, contention quiets down.”
Proverbs 26:20
Ol' Smokey The Bear said: "Only you can prevent forest fires!" Basically, that's what the Wiseman says about gossip.
We can turn down the heat, douse the fire, and let the quarrel die. How?
By not supplying juicy morsels of gossip, by ditching the urge to spread destructive innuendo, and by refusing to keep alive an ugly rumor.
Without gossip, the bitterness of a rivalry can dissolve and relationships can mend.
