“A rumor is an unverified account or explanation of events circulating from person to person and pertaining to an object, event, or issue of public concern”. Rumors can be about something that affects the whole world like “a World War III” or something that affects one person such as “Aya’s dog died”.
Rumors are a major aspect in Egypt. In fact, rumors are a paramount issue in the world. Rumors may sometimes control our life, instead of us controlling it. There are about six billion, four hundred and seventy million, eight hundred and eighteen thousand, six hundred and seventy one people in the world. If everyone starts repeating what the other said till the time it reaches the last person, the sentence would have changed at least a thousand times.
In the beginning of September, rumors fled across the death of Egypt’s President Mohamed Hosny Mubarak. The rumors went as far as suggesting that his son took over after his death.
That leads us to a question, “Why is it that people believe in rumors?” We strongly believe that people’s dreams are normally all they talk about, and changing that dream into reality is all they want. As a result, believing what is being said around them regardless of it being wrong or right is not the issue, it is whether it is what they want to happen or not.
It has been a whole decade since Princess Diana was killed in a car accident. Every year people make up a minimum of 10 possibilities as to how she died. Nevertheless, the truth is still unrevealed. The truth still lies inside Buckingham Palace, and knowing it, is nowhere near impossible. But then why just make up rumors? Once again she was The Princess of Hearts therefore reiterating a rumor is what satisfies people’s needs and fantasies.
