Remember Me?

My name is Gossip.
I have no respect for justice.
I maim without killing. I break hearts and ruin lives.
I am cunning, malicious and gather strength with age.
The more I am quoted, the more I am believed.
I flourish at every level of society.
My victims are helpless. They cannot protect themselves against me
because I have no name and face.
To track me down is impossible. The harder you try, the more elusive I become.
I am nobody's friend.
Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never the same.
I topple governments and wreck marriages. I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights,
heartaches and indigestion. I spawn suspicion and generate grief. I make innocent people cry in their pillows.....Even my name hisses.
I am called GOSSIP. Office gossip, party gossip, school gossip.
I make headlines and headaches.

Remember before you repeat a story, ask yourself; is it true? is it fair? is it necessary??? If not, do not repeat it ( the Prophet Muhammed (saw) said "it is like eating the flesh of your own brother(sister)")

~Great minds discuss ideas...Average minds discuss events...Shallow minds discuss people.....So which one are you?
