Be careful: Gossip speaks louder than truth

Gossip is one of the evils of society -- but it runs rampant throughout the world and shows no sign of slowing down any time soon. Maybe this is the reason why --studies show that gossip is much more powerful than the truth, so much so that when people have to choose between gossip and truth, they'll choose to believe the gossip even when there is evidence to the contrary.

Gossip has been the ruin of several relationships in my life, and I know firsthand how damaging it can be. Although gossip is a means through which we convey information, be very careful about the gossip you pass along.
