About This Quote

As far as rumors go, this one is fairly harmless. In fact, it’s not even a rumor. The real problem with rumors is that they have an element of truth to them. The truth is often overlooked when someone gets drawn into a rumor.

This quote reminds us that a rumor can start with something pretty ordinary. And then it can get completely out of control.
