Remember me?

Remember me? My name is Gossip. I have no respect for justice. I maim 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 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 quite the same. I topple governments and wreck marriages. I ruin careers, cause sleepless nights, heartache and indigestion. I spawn suspicion and generate grief. I make innocent people cry into their pillows. Even my name hisses. I am called Gossip. Office Gossip. Shop Gossip. Party Gossip. I make headlines and headaches. Before you repeat a story, ask yourself--Is it true? Is it fair? Is it necessary? If not-SHUT UP!!!!!!---Unknown
