"恶性循环"的感动

以下的状况,相信你一点都不会陌生:

查看电邮时,看到了一封注明:FW: Read this amazing love story 的转载邮件。打开一看, 全文如下:

"He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he so normal, nobody paid attention to him. At the end of the Party, he invited her to have coffee with him. She was surprised, but due to being polite, she promised.

They sat in a nice coffee shop. He was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable. She thought, 'Please, let me go home....'

Suddenly he asked the waiter, 'Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee.' Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red. But still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it.

She asked him curiously, 'Why you have this hobby?' He replied, 'When I was a little boy, I was living near the sea, I like playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there.'

While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched. That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, has responsibility of home.

Then she also started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family.

That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful beginning of their story. They continued to date.

She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands. He had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee!

Then the story was just like every beautiful love story . The princess married to the prince, then they were living the happy life...And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked it.

After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said:

'My dearest,

Please forgive me, forgive my whole life lie. This was the only lie I said to you---the salty coffee.

Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt. It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead. I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promises not to lie to you for anything..Now I'm dying, I afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth:

I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste.. But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life!

Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for the second time, still want to know you and have you for my whole life, Even though I have to drink the salty coffee again'.

Her tears made the letter totally wet. Someday, someone asked her: what's the taste of salty coffee? 'It's sweet,' she replied.

Love is not 2 forget but 2 forgive, not 2 c but 2 understand, not 2 hear but 2 listen, Not 2 let go but 2 HOLD ON !!!!"

很感人吧?抱歉, 这不是我的重点。请继续往下看:

"If u open this, U have to re post it or you will have bad luck for the rest of your life!!!!!!! Tonight at midnight your true love will realize they like you. Something good will happen to you at approve 1:42pm tomorrow, it could be anywhere. So get ready for the biggest shock of your life. If you break this chain, you will be cursed with relationship problems for the most important time of your life. Send this to 15 people in 15 minutes to carry on the chain... And spare you the emotional stress."

转发出去吗?岂非演变成"恶性循环"?不转发出去吗?那我的感情会不会"厄运连连"?想必这应该是一般人的反应吧!

对我而言,"睬它(咒语) 都傻"!可是遇上感人肺腑的故事时,我既想和朋友分享,又不想"殃及池鱼",如何是好?

备受这种邮件缠绕多时的我,这次灵机一动! 哈哈,把最后一段"咒语"给删掉,再转发出去不就可以了吗?天啊!这么简单的方法,亏我迟至今日才想到!

咦?不对!既然是再简单不过的方法,想必许多人也可以想到吧!但为何大家还要继续转发呢?

是因为渴望爱情的人太多?还是害怕厄运的人更多?我想: 是喜欢恶作剧的人最多!
