Gossip

I think this is a good analogy for gossip. It really show what gossip can do, and how awful it is. I think it shows how once something is said it really can not be taken back. We must always choose our words carefully because we may regret them later. Gossip is the kind of thing that many people will regret later in life. Once something is said about someone it can not be unsaid, and their reputation can not be mended so easily. Gossip can easily ruin someone's reputation and trust in the person who gossips. Trust and a person's reputation will not be easy to get back no matter how hard a person may try.
