Gossip

An interesting thought...
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, 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..

May Allah bless you ... It is really an interesting topic ...gossip by the way is just like a fire which destroys everything around .Its damage could be clearly seen by drawing a very bad reputation among those who have been involved in such lies said by very cruel persons whose aim is to spread the hate and abhorrence among friends ,spouses and families too.It is really such a bad behaviour and conduct especially if it is done by muslims .Thanks again
