Snail Mail: Send a Little Love

Have you ever experience smiling when you read a text message, email or a private message on your face book account or any social media account? It is a great feeling that your message can easily reach your recipient and can answer your message in an instant, you can express how you feel in a matter of less than a second, but decades ago, before beeper s and mobile phones are invented the best way to send message is thru postal mail, paper mail or now a days is called snail mail. It is named after a snail which means slow, this way of sending message is facilitated by a postal office. People use snail mail to send message to people who are far away, it may be a form of notice, bills, ask someone how they are doing or letter that express how they feel towards another person or love letters.

The recipient of a letter receives the mail a month or two depending on the location of the recipient and if people have a conversation that is transmitted via snail mail, they sometimes forget what they are talking about since the reply takes a lot of days to be received.  This is one of the down side of a snail mail, but people has no choice decades ago since it is the only way to send message in a far distance.  This simple way of communication can put a tear or a smile on their faces, depending on the content of the letter but whatever the content of the letter people back then can feel that those letters are created with emotions and effort since it is hand written. Whether letters are sent using technology today or snail mail before, but what is important is that letters or messages must be made with integrity and positive intention towards other, it is our responsibility.
