The blogger’s note: Further to an email circulated regarding a humorous subject on “Finger Exercises To Avoid Depression” (see http://taionn1.blogspot.com/2013/05/finger-exercises-to-avoid-depression.html ), there are a few ensuing exchanges of emails that may be of fun to read as follows:

I am wondering if constantly counting money will lead to a health condition called ‘stenosing tenosynovitis’ or ‘trigger fingers’ later on in life?
So far nobody knows the exact cause(s), of this arthritic condition.
Anyway, it is so much better to live a peaceful and enjoyable life on earth with just sufficient money to meet our daily physical needs, and enjoy good health during our short stay here in this world, than constantly having fears, worries, anxiety, depression and ill health, worrying about our wealth and property, how to spend them, who will take them, or how to take them away with you to the grave when life finally comes to an end?
Counting the long, healthy, blessed and added years to our life, is far more profitable than counting money.
“Now there is great gain in godliness with contentment, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.
But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content.
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.” (1 Timothy 6:6-10)

Dear Chief High Priest of the Evolution Temple,
Since you are such a good friend of the Great Sifu, may I suggest you forward the following verses to him to offer your kindness to suffer for him?
MONEY
It can buy a House
But not a Home
.
It can buy a Bed
But not Sleep
But not Sleep
It can buy a Clock
But not Time
It can buy you a Book
But not Knowledge
It can buy you a Position
But not Respect
It can buy you Medicine
But not Health
It can buy you Blood
But not Life
It can buy you Sex
But not Love
Money isn't everything
It often causes pain and suffering
I tell you this
cause I'm your friend
and want to take away
your pain and suffering
So send me all your money
and I will suffer for you
I ACCEPT CASH, MONEY ORDERS, PERSONAL CHECKS, CASHIERS CHECKS, BAGS OF GOLD, BARS OF PLATINUM, ETC. ETC.
Regards,
Lau

Lau,
Good idea.
Why not we both suffer for him and help him spend his money?
When he sends me the money into my Maybank Account, I will give you half.
We will begin by having a GRAND LAVISH DINNER IN KONG SAI RESTAURANT for all the ebuddies.
I am looking forward to this.
Hope I receive the money fast.
