Sharing a joke that just happened.
Yesterday it was some friendship day. I received a “friendship text” from a friend, tagged with “Happy Friendship Day”. You get it. It’s a friendship day wish carrying some words-of-wisdom.
Since I don’t believe much in the wishing business, I don’t generally reply to such texts, and rarely, if ever, send one when I absolutely have to. I saw this one and ignored it.
This morning I happened to meet this person. And she’s upset (not really, just feigning), because I didn’t reply to her text. Says I don’t consider her a friend. Well, whether I do or do not, that’s not the issue here, okay. I asked her what the message was. I mean, what exactly was written in the text. And guess what, she doesn't know! (Isn’t it a WTF-moment?)
No wonder, I say to myself, people blindly forward any texts they receive. Who keeps account of which texts one forwards to whom! Ah, but they expect responses as if they have sent you something they wrote in their blood! I am pretty sure that even if I had replied after a few hours sending the same text I received from her, it would have done!
Anyway, I went through my inbox and fetched the text and showed it to her.
It read —
Friendship is not about spoken words, but meanings. A true friend always understands you even when you don’t have the words to speak. Happy Friendship Day!
I couldn’t help laughing. I too actually read the text now!

Good one !!! People seldom think before forwarding messages to others, notwithstanding the real gist of the occasion...well said :)
