Does anyone remember the game, Operator?
It was a game we played when we were kids. Everyone sat in a circle and one person would whisper in some one's ear. It didn't matter what you whispered in the person's ear just as long as no one else heard it. The person you whispered to then whispered what you said to the next person and so on, until the whisper went around the whole circle back to you.
What normally happened was that by the time the whisper made it back to the person who originated it, what they whispered had become totally convoluted and not what they said at all.
I have found that small town living, where something that one person says can make it around the town in less then two hours, and not be anything like what the original person said.
Problem is, by the time it has made it around town it has turned into something mean and condemning to someone and everyone who has heard now believes it.
Don't people know that spreading rumors can be one of the most devastating ways to hurt a person. I think more people should think about the kid's game Operator before repeating something. It never comes back the way it started.
