Is gossip telling lies about others or does it include telling the truth about them?

"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics." Mark Twain

"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics."

When I am hungry I eat. When I am tired I sleep. My body tells me the truth at all times. It does not lie

When I am hungry I eat. When I am tired I sleep. My body tells me the truth
at all times. It does not lie.

It (intution) tells me when something feels right or feels wrong.
When I have listened to it and followed its direction it has proven itself
by the results. 

When I do not listen to it (gut feelings) and instead listen to directions from
some other body, I have done wrong and hurt myself.
