Why are most people so opposed to shooting the messenger?

If fact, when someone tells you gossip that upsets or hurts you to no good end, isn’t shooting the messenger actually the most productive course?
If someone has to swear you to absolute secrecy before telling you something upsetting that involves you or a close friend/family member, where is the positive?
So now you know something that, in all good conscious, you should take steps to verify and correct. Yet your hands were tied, leaving the choice of either scoundrel [no action] or liar [break your promise of silence].
Why not just shoot the messenger so you don’t face this again in the future?
