Sola: Maxwell, how could you be so heartless to give such a nasty comment about me before the board and still pretend to be a friend? Ha, you are desperately wicked! (acting on hearsay)
Max: Sola, what are you talking about?(surprised and shocked, he's truly innocent)
Sola: Enhen, you think walls don't have ears. You said I'm completely unskillful and absolutely incompetent to handle the project even when you know little or nothing about my capability. Well, I lost the bid but don't worry the loss that would befall you too would be maximum as your name depicts. Look, from today forward, we should hunt separately. Never again cross my path, traitor! ( loud and belligerent)
-------------------
A lot of folks have severed their friendship or links with some others simply for their reliance on a third party's false testimony with no caution. Hearsay evidence is like a distant statement if is not exaggerated surely it would be an understatement. Some of these third party's testimonies might be true but the fact that they are not usually the whole truth makes reliance on same undependable and "inadmissible". So, why should you then allow yourself to loose your peace on something so frivolous?Those who have real evidence (first hand), whose adversaries are caught in the act have not been justified yet let alone the opposite. Even the Court of Law does not admit hearsay evidence safe some few exceptions (Section 38, Evidence Act, 2011)
There's a high probability that you are being used as a tool to contribute to someone else's discomfort if you engage in a feud strictly on someone's account. By this, your foolishness would be successfully proved to the latter and things might have gone irredeemable before you realize. In other words, you surely don't know what is going on between "your benefactor" (third party) and the one being reported. Do you think the former would report the latter to you if they are indeed the best of friends. Think. If you must act get your findings right. Peace is possible.
