Remember Me ??? My Name is Gossip (Author Unknown)

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 , heartache and indigestion .
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 .
Before you repeat a story , ask yourself , is it true ? Is it fair ? Is it necessary ? If not .... DON"T REPEAT IT .


Gossip is not only hurtful ... it is down right mean ...
