Who Am I?

WHO AM I?
 
I have no respect for people or justice.
I can cripple without killing.
I break hearts and ruin lives wherever I am found.
I am cunning and malicious and grow stronger with age.
The more I am quoted and shared, the more I am believed.
I thrive at every level of society.
My victims are helpless;
    they cannot defend themselves against me because I have no name and no face.
To track me down is impossible...the harder you try, the more slippery I become.
I am nobody's friend.
Once I dirty a reputation, it is never the same.
I bring down governents, bankrupt businesses and ruin marriages and friendships.
I end ministries set up by God.
I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights, indigestion and pain.
I spawn suspicion, generate grief and inspire hatred.
I make headlines, headaches and heartaches.
I make innocent people cry in their pillows.
I have driven people to destruction and death.
My very name hisses like my father the old serpent....
I am Gossip.
