Don't you all just love receiving unexpected, inspirational emails from friends? You know, ones that have funny quotes, or a poem or words of wisdom from a well known figure. So why then are there little chain letters attached to the end of them?! Chain/email letters are evil! Last night after a long, long, day at the restaurant I came home & took a quiz sent to me by a friend. It was all about dreams, wishes & even the Dalai Lama was mentioned. I felt pretty good once I read my results until I came to the part that said - IF YOU WANT YOUR WISH TO COME TRUE YOU MUST FORWARD THIS QUIZ TO SUCH & SUCH NUMBER OF PEOPLE/S. Now, I've read a couple of the Dalai Lama's books & even went to hear him speak last summer in Central Park. We're not friends or anything & I don't know him personally, but I just don't think he wants his name attached to any kind of chain letter.
I get them from well meaning friends all the time. Even my mom sent me one once. It was something about women being fabulous. It said something like; SOMEONE OUT THERE THINKS YOU'RE GREAT! NOW SEND THIS TO 5 FEMALES IN YOUR LIFE WHO ARE WONDERFUL, TOO. Ha!!! It's a chain letter, though disguised a bit.
Remember when we were young, before the internet & emails, & we'd get one of these buggers in our mailbox? There was never a return address & sometimes it didn't even go through the postal system. My mother & I would kind of freak out over them. Who sent us this & why? What did we do to deserve this? We would throw them away, but everything that went wrong for the next couple of days was attributed to the nasty letter.
So, if you love me, like me or respect me, or even if you feel none of the above, please do not send me anything that I have to forward to any other being in order for it to come true. Yes, I'm a little superstitious, so chain letters do stress me out! Whew!!! I'm glad I got that off my chest. I hope all of my dreams still come true. Knock on wood.
