I am Gossip

[ar]

I am Gossip . . .

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 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, 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 . . . ?
