Chain Letters
When I was young I got my fair share of chain letters. I didnt know any better, and I was scared to death that if I did follow through then something bad would happen to me or to someone that I love. Though I know better now, I still dont like to get them. Chain letters used to come through the postal service, but with todays technologies most of them now come via email. I dont care how they come. If someone sends me one of them I get really upset. There is something to be said for putting negative ideas out in the universe and I dont like them being directed in my direction.
Many of the chain letters you get today say that if you dont forward them to a certain number of people in a certain amount of time something bad will happen. The chain letters are all different, but they are also very much the same. You will have bad luck for seven years, someone you love will get sick, you will lose your job, or your cat will run off and join the circus. If you are smart enough to forward them though, any amount of amazing things can happen to you.
Some of the chain letters I have gotten in the past offer something pretty amazing. Did you know that if you forward that email from Bill Gates you can make thousands? Hes testing his email tracking system, and you are going to get rich by clicking a few buttons. Who could pass that up right? I have also gotten chain letters that promise something really great is going to pop up on my computer screen after I forward it to ten people. Its sad really that so many people are still passing these around.
I have asked those who were sending me chain letters to stop doing so. Its almost like a threat and I dont like it. I know nothing bad, or good for that matter, is going to happen because I did or did not forward an email, but there is still a negative energy associated with it. I dont want that anywhere near me. Most of them have listened, thankfully, and though I thought many would be upset with me, they seem to understand. Now if I could just get them to stop sending the if you are my friend youll send this back chain letters, life will be good again.
