Have you got any mail?

So what is new? I got a hate mail from a friend. Claps & boohoos. Let me give some context.

Every day we read more than 200 mails morning to evening. Add few more emails on personal mail ids which will take the count to some 250 odd mails to be read every day. By any standard, people who say that this generation has no reading habit. Please refer the “not cooked” statistics. With average length of email being 200 words we are reading 100 pages every day. Add on to this the constant feeds from Facebook, twitter and blogs like this. I say, this generation reads much more than what our elders can imagine. Now how much of this reading is crap is debatable. But few things like a hate mail which I mentioned earlier are super-duper examples of e-waste & crap.

Although, the hate mail is personal, I would like to dissect the psychology of hate mail senders. Some of these may apply to the person who sent me and some may apply to larger audience. Nevertheless, please don’t leave comments like you are the S. Freud reborn as all regular visitors here know, I am humble and modest and most of the times I am proud of it!

Characteristics:

- They lack balls to confront the person on face or over voice and hence retort to mails. And as like deserves like, it is sometimes met with this kind of blog.

- And when you peel the onion one more layer..at a psychological and subconscious levels, if you try to understand the modalities of the emotional behavior coupled with nuances of external behavior and contrast it with their internal personalities, it will become all clear to you (oh my god, I am so good at this :d) that they have a fake sense of ego and attitude which is based on nothing but gas. Barrrrrrr. Yes Fart!!

- These people are dreamers and they dream when they write mail. Dreaming of scenes like the reader of their mail will break down. Cry for 3.5 hours straight. Will not eat for 3 days and will call them 17 times before succumbing to their power of hate mails. Well boohoo…burps and more burps due to overeating!

- And lastly these are confused souls; they would contact us for saying “don’t contact me ever from now on please”. And you are dumbstruck figuring out when in your sleep you went out and made an effort to contact that person!

But having said all this, it is nothing but human to err. Thankfully, god bless America /Microsoft and sony vaio, we have been facilitated with a “delete” button.

I had to write this blog, as I am sure a lot of people would be getting such mails from random lost friends every now and then! So have you got any mail?
