Look here hon... If you want to post e-mail spam that tries to belittle everyone into sending it on, no matter how touching the story is, real or not, you should expect to take some shit for it.

And Army just can't help himself he believes what he's told.

Are you one of those miserable people who aren't happy unless everyone else is miserable? That's what I'm getting from reading any and all of your posts. Why do you always have to turn a positive thing into something negative?

Clay balls....



that's what you just made me think of wordy:

CLAY BALLS

A man was exploring caves by the seashore. In one o the caves he found a canvas bag with a bunch of hardened clay balls. It was like someone had rolled clay balls and left them out in the sun to bake.

They didn't look like much, but they intrigued the man, so he took the bag out of the cave with him. As he strolled along the beach, he would throw the clay balls one at a time out into the ocean as far as he could.

He thought little about it, until he dropped one of the clay balls and it cracked open on a rock. Inside was a beautiful, precious stone!

Excited, the man stated breaking open the remaining clay balls. Each contained a similar treasure. He found thousands of dollars worth of jewels in the 20 or so clay balls he had left. Then it struck him.

He had been on the beach a long time. He had thrown maybe 50 or 60 of the clay balls with their hidden treasure into the ocean waves. Instead of thousands of dollars in treasure, he could have taken home tens of thousands, but he had just thrown it away!

It's like that with people. We look at someone, maybe even ourselves and we see the external clay vessel. It doesn't look like much from the outside. It isn't always beautiful or sparkling, so we discount it.

We see that person as less important than someone more beautiful or stylish or well known or wealthy but we have not taken the time to find the treasure hidden inside that person.

There is a treasure in each and everyone of us. If we take the time to get to know that person, and if we ask God to show us that person the way He sees them, then the clay begins to peel away and the brilliant gem begins to shine forth.

May we not come to the end of our lives and find out that we have thrown away a fortune in friendships because the gems were hidden in bits of clay.

Passive Agressive attacks are still attacks.

If stupid people aren't made to realize that they aren't terrible horrible people for not sending a forward to people then they think they have to do it. Tell them they dont' have to enough and eventually they don't have to be told.

Make of that what you will.

I am not attacking anyone. Was just asking a simple question.

[wordsmythe]

Your original post does attack everyone who reads it because if they dont' forward it, they are bad people.

I didn't post the email.... And yes maybe the if you don't forward it on should have been deleted but who cares.... But you seem to turn every thread into something negative... I understand everyone is entitled to an opinion but can't you be happy and say something nice every once in a while instead of always being negative?????
