The thing about rumors is that they can never be recaptured once you let them go. Therefore, they run through the universe just like Thing 1 and Thing 2 from the Catt in the Hat . They pay no attention to intent. They carry no attribution to their “owner” and they completely ignore any boundaries.. They attach themselves to people both innocent and guilty of misusing facts to construct possible stories that contain facts but not truth.
In short there is no peace in the message of a rumor
In so many ways rumors are like verbal acid. Once you spill one you can not stop the damage no matter how many times you may attempt to stop it or regain control. They burn through the fabric of peace —there goes the peace of all who get touched in any ways by the web of all rumors.
I am caught in the web of rumors that may cost my family a good deal.. I forgive you who started it and will work on the same for those repeating ...
So .... back to how one seeks peace...
AVOID RUMORS
If someroner presents one to you by saying “you know what I heard” .... Politely shake your head and simply say... No.and if you only heard it I don’t need to know it.... you will then protect the peace you are seeking.
Those seeking peace have a responsibility to fellow seekers... so please do so and I shall do the same.
