Finding the way with love, not Gossip

How important it is to make sure that you do all you can do with love!  It is true, I am guilty of being judgemental of others.  Are we not all guilty of that.  Do you gossip?  I know there is constructive conversations that are focused to help someone get through what they need to, but in the end, it is still wrong?
What is your opinion of gossip for your health?
Does that increase an energy of vibe that will attach to othes?
