Blind Followers
Today I received an sms saying that : Plz pass this sms to all your friends 5 year old baby requires AB+ve blood for open heart surgery. Contact xyz with abc number. please do not reject, our sms might help.
What will somebody do when they receive this message. They will forward it of course ..and who does'nt , life of a baby is at stake. But, how far is this true? I don't know, just blindly keep forwarding it and where it ends no body knows. Sometimes, I think its all false..because there are so many means to get the blood. There are blood banks, there is radio to air and there is online information available for the blood , there are friends....etc.One more thing is in these messages one thing is not clear, where that person is located. Is he/she a localite? No body knows, just keep forwarding because of humanitarian reasons. Thats it..
There are also sms and mails sent on the basis of God . Pass this message to 5 people, you will have luck , if you pass this to 10 you will get what you want and if you don't send something really bad is going to happen. And these mails and sms are sent by the highly educated people, which surprises me and for a moment it makes me to think should I forward it. It reminds of childhood days, where people used to distribute pamplets (again on the basis of God) and ask the people who read it to print and distribute 100 or 200 or 500 such pamplets. And, people used to follow it. Now, the same thing has taken over by technology in the form of mail and sms. If these all are going to come true, then everybody in this world would keep sending such mails and sms. Anyways, people are blind followers else blind faith won't exist. Sometimes I thank such mails/sms, since a friend who has'nt mailed you at all, will mail you seeing such messages. And, I had once sent a message to my friend saying that "Thanks for having blind faith, atleast you mailed me because of such message."
