As we are all aware, many hoaxes and “urban legends” circulate on the Internet. The one I think is tops on my list of the most hated is the one that appears to have an astrology calendar for each sign.  The subject line says something like “This is the most accurate astrology chart you have ever seen!”  It’s then filled out with information that supposedly pertains to each sign.  Then at the very end of each one is a message to the extent that if you don’t pass on the email you will have 7, 8, 10 years of bad luck and horrible things happening to you.  I was shocked the first time I had this email sent to me!  I asked the party why they would ever send such a bad wish to me.  The response was that they were afraid they would have bad luck and horrible things happen to them!  (I’d like to tell you this was seemingly an intelligent business person.)

Now my feeling is that anyone who would send me an email damning me with some kind of bad luck is no friend!  To me there is no justification that out of fear of something bad happening to them, superstition no less, that they pass on such a negative thought to me.  I don’t believe in that type of superstition or bad luck at all, believing instead that we make our own luck.  I will drop that emailing person from my list of friends and put them in the category of “acquaintance” or delete them entirely from my email and life.  I personally will take a chance on all that bad luck, rather than pass it on to my friends – no matter what!  How about you?
