Often we receive forwarded emails...mostly SPAM...some even chainletters and freaky links with scary images that pop out at us, so much so that we are afraid to open forwarded emails. Sometimes, we are so cynical we do not believe in the content of a forwarded email or we simply delete it.
I'm sure everyone has received a "Help Us!" email before...one which says, please forward this mail and we'll receive 5 cents per email. Perhaps when we first begin receiving these kind of emails, our hearts are touched and we do forward them. However, as the onslaught of email keeps coming, slowly we begin to question.
Are they for real? Is someone playing a joke?
I know because at times, I wonder...sometimes I even delete it without forwarding because I no longer believe that it is true. Yet now, when I think of it, I will never know...and because of me, some child might have been deprived of a future.
We learn though experiences and this kind of experience has taught us to doubt. Only once in fifty forwarded emails do I receive an email that teaches a lesson. This lesson is one, someone somewhere in this world, wants us to know and wants us to learn.
This tells me that just because we've been bitten before, it doesn't mean we should just give up. Maybe we should begin to trust again and not be so beset by doubt.
Being a cynic is no picnic...believe me. You cannot see the magic behind the rainbow anymore. You merely see rays of light reflected and refracted. It is the same as saying we exist...but do not live. We each need to have a little magic in our lives...a little...belief that in this big bad world, there is something good. That to balance out the evil people in our world, there are good people, each striving in their own way to make our world a beautiful one.
There can never be a perfect world or a perfect life. All we can do is live...and believe.
Rainbows are so faint...and so fragile. Don't destroy it with cynism...
