A text message from Carren Bondoc

I AM IMPRESSED BY Carren’s message; however, I don’t know if she’s the one who made it or not… Here it is:

****

My name is Gossip. I have no respect for justice. I maim without killing. I break hearts and ruin lives. The more I am quoted, the more I am believed.
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. Once I tarnish a reputation, it is never the same. I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights, heartaches and indigestion. I make innocent people cry in their pillows. Even my name hisses.

I am called GOSSIP.

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?
