Lessons learned from chain emails
I hate it when i found those chain things stuffing my mailbox, but i did manage to learn a few things from them, like
1. They’re usually forwarded by your long-lost friends, who probably don’t have the gut to upset their closer friends. Ain’t contact you for no reason, huh? So don’t be too flattered the next time your long-lost friends send you a forwarded message.
2. Chained e-mails usually have the subject headings like, well, “Important!!! Plzzz read…”, “Plzzz don’t delete without reading…”, “Sorry, its too horrible...” or maybe, “Wishes to my dear friends”, “Friendship 4eva”, “Tips to lead a happy life”.
3. They usually begin with some kinda horrible stories and end with something like “Send this to 10-20 people within 60 minute and something good will happen to you in the next 12 hours. If you break this chain, you’ll be cursed with bad luck for the rest of your life.” *roll eyes*
4. Those who forwarded it to you were probably dying to get away from the curse, by passing it to others. (Is that what friends are for?!!) *tsk tsk*
5. See, chain letters/e-mails/sms are actually a reflection of human nature - selfishness. Horrible, huh?
6. So the REAL evil is NOT the curse itself BUT the intention of those who fail to break it.
Well, i never believe those craps and i NEVER forward them. So what i usually do is, delete it and BREAK THE DAMN CHAIN.
It is wrong to curse a flower and wrong to curse a man. It is wrong not to hold any man in honor, and it is wrong to ridicule any man.
You must honor yourselves and see within yourselves the spirit of eternal validity. You must honor all other individuals, because within each is the spark of this validity.
When you curse another, you curse yourselves, and the curse returns to you. When you are violent, the violence returns.

Chain emails like the ones saying you earn 100$ if u forward a microsoft mail are all bullshit. I really wonder who even originated them. They are equivalent to spam really...

hohoho Chain letter, sms, mails and all that are craps. Never ever trust them. It is just something that people has nothing better to do.
It can be annoying too sometimes, but yeah chain letter is still a chain letter. Some people might get scared of it and just did forward it. But for me, I don't do it. :p
