The gossip game
Some of us have played the gossip game where you whisper a phrase or saying to the person next to you. Then, that person whispers what they heard to the next person, and the pattern is repeated as the “supposed” message makes its way around. The fun part is when you compare the original saying with the message that was actually heard by the last person.
The discrepancies are both humorous and alarming especially when you think about messages that might really matter.
Whenever you’re involved in gossip game or chit-chat with friends, we all need to filter through these three things:
- Truthfulness
- Good
- Helpful
If the gist is not true or good or helpful, stay away from it.
