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 be protect themselves against me
because I have no name and no 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� Shop gossip�
Party gossip� Telephone 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. KEEP QUIET.
GREAT minds discuss ideas�. Average minds discuss events�Shallow minds
discuss people�.Which are you?
