Whether we want to admit it or not, gossip has a profound impact in shaping our societal relations: firstly, because we can't always tell truth from lies; secondly, because nearly all of us are prone to gossiping. It may do harm to people who are subject to it, even if we don't have an intention to hurt them. When it comes to celebrities, gossip is our only point of contact with them. Through it, we try to fathom their lives that seem so distant from ours. But we also subject our friends and acquaintances to it. It is a way of processing what goes on in their lives. It reflects our own dealing with other people's successes and failures. It also tells so much about us and our own mental preoccupations and psychological shortcomings. It doesn't really matter if rumors have a grain of truth or not. We don't enjoy them because they are true or false. We enjoy them because they help us deal with our own problems, or blind us to them, depending on our honesty toward ourselves.

Gossip is a very powerful force, especially in a person's younger years. Gossip is powerful because we are social animals, and what people in our lives have to say about someone naturally influences our opinion of that person, regardless of whether or not it’s true. Whether or not it’s true almost isn’t as important as whether it's good or bad, because really what it reflects is whether people have a generally positive or negative view of that person, which will affect how we ourselves view him or her.

This is why gossip is so dangerous. Rumors can often have no grain of truth in them, because all it takes for a rumor to start it to say something about someone, and anyone could say anything about anyone, regardless of truth. One way to help limit the potentially harmful effect of rumors is to be aware of the effect they have, both the temptation to hear them and spread them, and to remember that they are often not true and almost never entirely true, and that they can cause harm to the people they’re about.

That time of year thou mayst in me behold when yellow leaves, or none, or few do hang upon those boughs which shake against the cold, bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang in me thou sees the twilight of such day as after sunset fadeth in the west; which by and by black night doth take away, death's second self that seals up all in rest. in me thou seest the glowing of such fire that on the ashes of his youth doth lie, as the deathbed whereon it must expire, consumed with that which it was nourished by. this thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong, to love that well, which thou must leave ere long. the first stanza compares the leafless limbs of a tree to a.yellow leaves b.sweet birds c.bare choirs d.summer
