A Magnanimous New Year Contract

A most generous, unilateral contract just reached me. It is also the most specific in its magnanimity. The sender calls it "2008 Friendship Renewal Contract".

My Wish for You in 2008:

May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal
your debts. May the pockets of your jeans be come a magnet of
money. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may
laughter assault your lips! May your clothes smell of success
like smoking tyres, and may happiness slap you across the face
and may your tears be that of joy. May the problems you had
forget your home address! In simple words ............

May 2008 be the the beginning of the best years of your life!!!
I charged the sender who is a former monk and sometimes calls himself monk"ey" with the onerous obligation of seeing to it that all terms be fulfilled to my outmost benefit since it falls under the classification of a contract of adhesion. It is the type of contract which weighs heavily on the originator because it leaves the party no chance to bargain on the terms and has no choice but to affix one's signature to it if accepted.Furthermore, all vague provisions of a contract of adhesion is to be interpreted against the originator.

Trusting the sender's strong connectedness to the Source of everything that is Good, I look forward to the fulfillment of the gratuitous contract.

Now that was hilarious.

Now only if I can get my creditors to develop amnesia as well.

One big creditor of my family did not develop amnesia but was inspired with exceptional generosity. He waived our debt.

Remembering to be generous might have better chances than forgetting credits.

T'would be nice if he threw in some seed money as well. Something small. Say... a million or so?

Or our family sharing out some of the graces to others in need and continue with the chain of kindness.

How about that instead, Miser?
