Gossip

Sometimes stories that spread about you reach you and you begin to wonder how such a story got associated to you. Sometimes it feels like everyone is telling stories about you. But no its a specialized group of people whose fairy tales are so convincingly told that the poor victim is completely nailed. Its mostly amusing but many times damaging. Gossip is among the ills of society that neither religion nor law paid attention to. One could say that gossip in the moral code is like lies but there is a difference. The ones who started the gossip are lying but the ones that believe it and spreading it are not. Its quite a tricky situation.
