Gossip - Be Careful about it.

My name is Gossip. 



I have no respect for justice.



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, when you repeat a story, ask yourself:



is it true?

Is it fair?

Is it necessary??

If not, do not repeat it
