Sometimes it seems as though my efforts to write to friends and family is as wasted as trying to get the world to hear me by shouting to the wind itself.

I sent out several letters and emails before xmas and haven't heard anything from anyone of them as yet and it makes me feel that the effort was completely wasted instead of being appreciated.

What's wrong with this picture? Are people so damn busy pursuing the mighty dollar that they can't even take the time to write a short reply? Especially email? Guess the next one I send to everyone is going to be short and to the point "You're out of my will".

Maybe that'll get a response from them but for those who can't bother to even respond to that message, I'll be removing them from my various address books instead of wasting time writing to unresponsive people.
