Whispers

The scene is a small group of teenagers gathered in a circle. Everyone is chatting when suddenly, one of the girls across the circle turns and whispers in the ear of the girl standing beside her. They both simultaneously look back at one of the other girls in the group and giggle. Now the question of the others in the group, particularly the one to whom they stared, is “what did she say, or what's the big secret?” Emotions are invoked. Perturbed attitudes are developed, and the demeanor of the group is altered. The whispers have spoken, and now the unveiling begins.

Whispers upset most people who encounter them. They seem to give an overlying message that the one who is not included isn't worthy or important enough to hear what is being said, and yet whispers are used every day. Sometimes they are exposed like when a small child is whispered to about a gift for her daddy and she blurts out, “We're getting daddy a saw for his birthday?” Of course then there are those top secret whispers like the one given to President Bush on nine eleven before the group of students. For the most part though, whispers affect those who are left out, and those who use them harmfully alter human kindness.

An old manuscript states, “That which is kept in secret shall be shouted from the mountaintops!”. Now what if that occurred everyday? What if as soon as a whisper was shared suddenly a loud voice spoke from the sky and told everyone what was just said? What if there were no secrets, and what if everyone knew every whisper that everyone said? A person would suppose that the noise would be so loud that no one could hear anyone whisper ever again. Shhhh....the writer is whispering now, ooops, the whisper of the writer is that the readers are awesome! Until tomorrow...Why Say More?
