chain letters..

I don't know about you but I've been getting some chain letters lately and somehow, it's quite irritating. I don't mean to offend anyone or anything like that but, thing is, chain letters aren't true. It's just not true. It's pure hoax. It's a waste of time, of effort and that precious happy cells inside your body are disturbed with these chain letters.

Just what is a chain letter? As researcher D.VanArsdale puts it, "Texts that appeal to superstition to encourage their copying or publication have circulated for over a thousand years. Beginning around 1900, copy quotas and deadlines were added, and claims of divine authorship and magical protection were removed. The resulting "luck chain letters" still circulate, and in over four thousand generations of copying (with variation) they have accumulated ways to increase replication that challenge our understanding."

Next time you see a chain letter lying around your inbox, you can choose to read it or delete. But try to really intuitively ask yourself, 'will a mere letter give me bad luck?', 'will it REALLY give me good luck if i pass it within the specified deadline?'. I don't think there's any logical explanation for it. Ultimately I would say, if you need "good luck" in your lives, polish up on your skills, do good with your job and keep on praying to God for guidance. If you think na "wala namang mawawala sa kin if i try it", i hate to bust your bubble, but, ya, meron ngang mawawala. Your time, the effort, that 5-10 seconds na sana you tried to invest in something more worthwhile, and of course, you'll end up hurting the feelings of God (who made you and everything!).. Do you trust Him enough for the blessings or are you going to sit there in doubt?

If there's anything more powerful in this world, then I'd say right away (and i'm sure most of you will agree), it is God. Who do you pray to at night? Who do you call on when you're happy? Scared? Fearful? Depressed? No amount of forwarded chain letters can take away your unwanted feelings, let alone will bring you that "luck" in life.
