Chain Emails

We all receive emails at some time which request you foward it on or your teeth will fall out, your knickers drop down or, a million times more unlikely, you will gain wealth. We all groan when we get them but I try to see a lighter side.
1. The person sending it doesn't believe it either, but are not willing to take the chance because they'd be pissed off it was true - and they missed out. (Either that or they really are desperate for money).
2. The sender is aware, (perhaps because you only turn up at their place at meal times) that you are struggling with finances. This email is there way of forwarding the opportunity to improve you financial status, regardless of odds or truth of the veracity of the email. Again, it's the thought.
3. Most of us have people on our mailing list to whom we don't forward everything (some family, friends or work mates we know well enough to know that discretion is indeed the better part of valour. So to pass these chain emails on, we usually look at the possible recipients list and select....yes, choose. When we get the email, remember the person the other end chose you. (Okay so they may have wanted to annoy you) The reason matters not. These emails are proof that you and another five, seven, nine people were shortlisted for the experience. You are not alone in the world.
4. The sender knows that you hate this type of email, but not as much as you like annoying others, so the forward them to give you pleasure...Ahh! Friends. So thoughtful.
5. There is ofcourse another reason. They really don't care one way or the other and the send button is as easy to push as delete...and there is no malice or ill will in the action. So no need to get upset.
6. These emails usually have a lovely prayer (we all need all the help we can get and positive divine interference is highly regarded) or words of wisdom, the truth of which can't be refuted. They apply so well to everyone's life, but ours.
So when next your recieve a chain email, take the blessing (it cost nothing), say the prayer (it can't hurt) and send it forward to let your friends know that they are among the chosen.
