We all hope to get through life unscathed. No one wants to experience a traumatic event, as they inevitably come hand in hand with suffering.

Rumors. We’ve all heard one, spread one or have been directly involved in one. More often than not, by the time these tall tales reach your ears – whatever story your hearing is muddled.
