"Ignorance and superstition ever bear a close and mathematical relation to each other."
James F. Cooper
Yesterday I got a forward that told me 2011 is the 'Money Bags Year' and it went on to explain why. I read through it, found the math amazing; felt a bit more knowledgable but nowhere did I see why the year was seen as a money generating one, and if forwarding a mail to eight or twelve or sixteen people could get me money in "four days" I could do some more math and multiply the number of forwards. But then some of the believers warned me against doing that. It would divide my money gains they said ominously! But why, I asked. I didn't understand the math. "It's feng Shui," was the answer.
Superstitions abound. I believe the only time money abounds with out hard work in such a short time, is when you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth, or you inherit a legacy from your parents/grandparents or a wealthy, childless relative pops suddenly leaving you rich. Or then you stumble upon a pot of gold in your backyard, while digging a plot for a vegetable garden...(that involves hard work too!) Anyways, this is interesting so I'm posting it. Of course I've knocked off the part that assures you will get money if you send this to eight other people...Oops! the cat is out of the bag!
Year 2011 - is called as Money bags Year
In the Year 2011 July has
....5 Fridays,
....5 Saturdays
....5 Sundays.
And this happens once every 823 years.
This is called money bags.
This year we're going to experience four unusual dates.

And that's not all...
AMAZING ACTIVITY
Take the last two digits of the year in which you were born -
Now add it to the age you will be/are this year.......
The results will be 111 for everyone in the whole world.
This is the year of the Money!!!
Do you see any connection with money? Please let me know if you do....I'll send it to eight friends too....:)))

Seems that everyone is getting this (lol) I agree, hard work is what works best.
ReplyDeleteNo, not seeing the money connection either. But the number things are interesting. If I see money floating around anywhere I will let you know! :)
ReplyDeleteI see no money connection at all. I received this as an sms from several people and as I don't believe in these forwards, I put a stop to it by not sending it to anyone.
ReplyDeleteHi Joy
ReplyDeleteThat was really interesting.
No connection to money whatsoever. When I was working at the office I had lots of emails to forward for good luck and prosperity. I always deleted them. I wonder if that's why I lost my job:))
@Rachna....:)) yeah, there's nothing to these mails! It's only the gullible superstitious ones who get caught.
ReplyDelete@Ken....Hmmm...worth a thought. Perhaps that's why I lost the "promised" fortune!!
ReplyDelete@Karen, yeah if wishes were horses....lol
ReplyDelete@Marlene, I often wonder how people get taken in...by any tag that says feng shui, or vaastu!
I have been deleting those things for years and my life goes on... :D
ReplyDeleteMaxie, of course these things are sent around only so the sender can accumulate more email Ids...life goes on regardless of feng shui and forwards :)
