“Gossip and slander are not victimless crimes. Words do not just dissipate into midair. . . . Words can injure and damage, maim and destroy - forcefully, painfully, lastingly. . . . Plans have been disrupted, deals have been lost, companies have fallen, because of idle gossip or malicious slander. Reputations have been sullied, careers have been ruined, lives have been devastated, because of cruel lies or vicious rumors. . . . Your words have such power to do good or evil that they must be chosen carefully, wisely, and well.” LifeWellsHas BeensLyingEvilLostDealsCompanyCareersPlansCrimeChosenReputationFallenDamageGossipIdleRuinedViciousRumorSlanderDevastatedMaliciousIdle GossipRuined Life Author:Wayne D.
