Good things & downsides

"People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. [...] When someone is in your life for a reason, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer/question you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a season, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. [...] It is real, but only for a season. Lifetime relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. [...] Thank all for being a part of my life, whether they were a reason, a season or a lifetime."

This beautiful text was send to me by a beautiful woman. But why do all the inspiratory emails in my inbox, have to come with a "send this to every friend that you have on-line, including the person who sent it to you. [...] Something wonderful is about to happen to you and your friends. [...] Please do not break it. Send it to at least 7 of your friends."?
