Question
Expand the theme in a write -up of about 20 lines.
‘Rumours are spread by fools and accepted by greater fools’.
Solution
Rumours are lies spread by people who don’t feel the need to check facts before passing on a story. They have no truth to them and often end up creating problems for the people involved in the false story. It is not only foolish to communicate a story that is based on a lie, but also irresponsible on the part of the person who engages in such communication. The extent to which a rumour spreads also depends on whether the person hearing it believes it or not. If each person believes the lie without checking all the facts, then the rumour can be spread widely and can cause a lot of damage. It is not very wise to simply repeat what we hear from someone. It is important to think whether the story we have been told is true or not, whether it’s actually possible or not, and whether it is coming from a reliable source. People who spread rumours don’t really take their moral responsibility seriously. They engage in such acts to create difficult situations for other people. It’s like Zaid Abdelnour said, “Rumours are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.”
