I've been told that my last few posts have been completely indifferent (any guesses on who?). Well, I have to admit that it is true! I really have nothing to write about! I might be suffering from a case of writer's block!
Anyway, today I am going to talk about rumours! Why is it that people believe lies so easily, but when it comes to the truth, they completely tune you out? Rumours that have no solid base, and are completely ridiculous spread like wildfire and before you know it, everyone is talking about it! And if you try to quell them, no one is willing to listen to you! Rumours can be both harmful and harmless! But nonetheless, they hurt those whom they are about! I guess spreading rumours is a form of bullying too! People are much quicker to believe the faults of a person without even knowing them! But when you highly praise someone, why is it that they take much more time to form their own opinion? Is it jealousy? Just like we have more words to describe unhappiness and discontent, we have very few words to express our happiness! Isn't that sad? No one likes being spoken about in a negative way, but one form of comfort is the saying, "what goes around, comes around".I honestly believe that people get what they deserve! If today I say something mean and untrue about one of my classmates or just someone I know, I can't expect that there won't be any consequences for me! Maybe not right away, but there are always consequences! Sorry I chose such a random topic! There is nothing really going on with me, and rumours are a common occurence in school life!
