I have no respect for justice. I main without killing. I break hearts and ruin lives. I am cunning and 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 ruin marriages. I end ministries setup by God. I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights, heartache and indigestion. I spawn suspicion and generategrief. I make headlines, headaches and heartaches. I make innocent people cry in their pillows. Even my name hisses.
Otherwise known as ................Gossip
Exchanging information about absent third parties doesn't seem like it could ever be significantly constructive. No matter how pure or innocent our motives may be, raising questions or doubts about someone or their character still damages their reputation, whether deliberate or accidental.
