Breaking the Bad-Luck Chain

Isn't it funny that people send you chain e-mails that you have to forward in order to receive something good for it? Basically, this is teaching us that in order to have anything good happen to you, you have to burden your friends by sending them needless email, and guilting them as much as you've just been guilted.

Send this as an email to everyone in your address book. Within 5 days, something great will happen...I will even tell you what it is!

Within 5 days, the people in your address book will start to look forward to your emails, and maybe even stop cringing when they open them, knowing that they aren't going to be condemned to a life of misery because they have not forwarded your mail to everyone they know. They will start breathing a little easier knowing that the people in their own address books will start to like them a little more and want to read their e-mails.

Just think what a happy world this could be, knowing that we are not going to have to have years of bad luck, bad sex, bad karma, bad skin, or bad anything because you have done your part by forwarding this mail. This all starts with you. You are sending the message that you will not be a part of the chain of bad-luck forwarding anymore! You are better than that, you love your friends more than that, and you want them all to be happy, not stuck with who knows how many more years of having to look over their shoulder, wondering when it will all come crashing down because they only sent the last chain email to 2 people.

If all this has you feeling super-empowered, then take the next step! Next time someone forwards a chain email, do something drastic...brace yourself, this is going to knock you off your feet! This is not for the feint of heart.

Take the chain email and chop off the part that says you will have bad luck, chop off the part that says you should forward it at all. Then, if you feel like it, send it to whomever. Or don't! Then stand strong and be proud that you have just broken the chain. Know that something great is going to happen, you non-conformist! You are a leader, I am admiring you right now.

Now send this as an email to at least 10 people or you will wake up tomorrow with two new zits and a dent in your car.

Duh...just kidding! Haven't you been reading what I've been saying?

Welcome to Searchwarp - I intensely dislike those e-mails - besides not believing in luck or fate.... I will even delete that part if I chose to send the e-mail on.
