Random Thoughts... Rumours

....on a bus ride to Detroit 23 September 2010

Rumor... Rumor starts out small then spreads like a desease.
First quietly eating at every part of your body then loudly destroys your mind body and soul. It infects and affects those closest to you. And slowly ostracizes you. Forcing you into hybernation where first your spirit dies, then everything else quickly gives in.

Rumor is like a forrest fire. IT doesn't even need help lighting up the next tree, it sort of just happens and then without any notice the entire Forrest is up in flames. Violently moving at a rapid pace destroying as it moves along. The power of this fire grows as it progresses. Not threatened by anything in it's way.

Rumor: Have you thought about the Rumors you've heard and spread. Thought about the impact and the power you carry just by repeating it without knowing the facts?

Rumor visited me recently, and no I was not told about someone else and discussed the details on why when and where Who and because... No... This Rumor was about me. ...... Rumor Made me think..... How many fires could I have put out had I not further passed on what i heard.... Rumor Made me think carefully about what I would share, who'm I'd share with and exacly what my motivation would be for sharing. Rumor made me realize how insensitive I had been concerning others by blabbing my thoughts and so called knowledge when I had "heard" something... Without truly knowing anything. Rumor came my way and taught me a few great lessons..... Oh Be Careful little Mouth what you speak..... Rumor came Rumor went...... But left me with a gift:?

Never judge anyone based on what you hear or see. Take time for yourself to get to know people. Take the initiative to stop spreading like a desease and stop talking about people..... Rumor has helped me understand this valuable thought.....

Rumor isn't always Fact!!!!! Remember that when Rumor comes your way!!!!
