Thy shalt not find joy in the suffering of others...

Thy must confess to occasionally allocating time in my day to "gossip" about the misfortunes of others. Although enjoyable and at times rewarding, the older I get the more petty I realise I am, forgive me father for I have sinned, over and over again. If I continue discussing the events of other people's lives can I just keep confessing and being forgiven?
