Water Coolers all over the World are a Buzzing ,LOL
Much more intrigue than Franz Kafka’s “The Trial”. Life lessons BUMP!
For DECADES I was POSITIVE that on the day my pop died, I was with my aunt Millie the WHOLE DAY.
Not my Aunt Fran.
I WAS SO SURE OF IT that I would bet EVERYTHING I HAD on it.
And anyone I told about that day, I told them which aunt I was with.
I only recently, after 37 years asked the other folks who had gone up to Canada too which aunt went with them.
It was the aunt I thought I stayed with
I was wrong all these years.
On something I WAS SURE OF.
So ALL the people I told had the wrong info.
That’s why hearsay sucks.
Heck EYEWITNESS testimony has been shown to not be so great!!
Better than actual evidence, because gossipers never lie. They never sensationalize or exaggerate, or skew information to fit their personal agendas. You should always trust what random individuals say when they talk about others they don’t like.
It’s getting harder to tell what is satire in today’s wacky world when truth stranger than fiction.
And the game of “Telephone” just goes on and on.
At what point does what may have been an honest narrative, or at least plausible, become so garbled it is ruinous gossip and idle lies?
Reminds me of the car salesman who tried to convince me that “idiot lights” were better than gauges because the idiot light will tell you what just blew.
In my experience, with regards to hearsay, the more a story was passed around the further it diverted from the truth of the matter.
Wasn’t Terri Schiavo starved to death on hearsay evidence? My understanding was that it was admissible but should not be given much weight.
