Rumor has it

It’s heartrending to think that the people I once admired are the same people giving me horror.   

I really don’t want to talk about this in here but what the hell?! This is my realm. I can pretty much do whatever I want regardless of whether or not I’m making sense. After all, it’s called a blog.

To start off, I better pose this question: WHY DO WE DELIGHT IN RUMOR MONGERING?

I don’t see anything beneficial in doing the act except maybe for the fact that we enjoy other people’s misery or if there are none, we create one for the sole purpose of having fun. We, as insatiable beings just love to see or at least hear about people having a feud. Whenever we hear gossip, we immediately jump into it and let our spiky paws take a grip of it, never letting go. We are salivating just like the stray dogs. We are no less than the agitated spectators who watched the gladiators fight to death in the old Roman arenas. And that is just mean.

What’s even more disappointing is that this is already an inherent setback that is seemingly impossible to eradicate. Although we have seen its despicable consequences several times over, still, we continue to do it. We never learn.

There are those kinds of rumors which are not really rumors but concealed truths. So when they are already out in the open, we just accept the fact that they are finally out and we even thank the Lord for having exposed them so that nothing will be keeping us awake until the ungodly hours. The second kind are the rumors which are circulated for the purpose of a having a good laugh. They’re just gags so we don’t really give a damn. And the third kind is the most horrifying. It is the kind which annihilates most of its victims; catapult them into the pit of darkness, never to recuperate. These are rumors which are total hoaxes spread my manipulative insecure people whose purpose is to destroy the core of blameless human beings.

How does it work? Well, they generate something, fabricate it, and orchestrate such big fuzz over it. What’s worse is when they already rant and tirade over a thing which might not even be true. It’s just like writing a news report about something which is not verified. It could be fallacious and worse, people might believe in something which is not even true. There are even people who easily believe in the rumors and instantaneously inject their opinions as if they have complete knowledge on what is really happening when the truth of the matter is that they don’t have the slightest idea.

I’m not washing my bloody erring hands for the sake of coming clean like what Lady Macbeth did. In fact, I, myself am guilty as charged. It just came to my senses that indeed, spreading malicious rumors are the doings of pea-brained individuals who aren’t brave enough to talk face-to-face so they spread malicious rumors instead.

Let me get this straight. I don’t want to pick a fight. I’m just stating the facts.

They, of all people should not delight in wrong; instead, revel with the truth. Anyway, truth hurts. *Read between the lines*
