When one shares information with another, one assumes it will be passed along exactly as it was received, without drama or fanfare. Unfortunately this is not the case. Fact A suddenly turns in to Fact Z, extra editorial comments are added, and so it begins.Something recently shared with a relative has been turned, twisted and conjured into a new statement so unlike the original it now sounds absurd. That popular recess game of passing information from one to another has apparently matured into acceptable adult behavior with too much drama and too much deception. It appears some folks have too much time on their hands.
The rule of not talking to strangers should be adjusted to "not talking to anyone" if truthiness is to prevail. Venting? You bet. Frustrated? Somewhat. Done talking to the drama queens? Yup. Apparently ignorance is not only bliss, but safer than the facts.
