#48 Appreciation: Letter

Saw a FB post today, about a teacher cried after receiving a letter from her student after she left the school (which located at a rural area)... A letter, is a fruit of thoughts and sincere appreciation.

In this modern era, letter is not perceived to have much value...because
1. It cost money - postage and evelope
2. It is slow
3. It is usually notification or bills
People today prefer to email, message and call - which all of these can be achieved much faster and obtained prompt reply when compared to a letter.

But with a letter, it shows affection, thought, effort, expression and more. It is a slower process (undeniable), at least we put in much more effort (even when we dont know how to spell a word, we will check the dictionary because we dont want the letter to reflect bad on us - due to spelling error). We 'decorate' the letter with picture, cursive writing, we are more expressive (as we can take our time to write down our feelings and thoughts.)

Is hard to receive a pure greeting letter, so ever since I am in my uni years, I start to collect all letter received by mail from friends. A delicate evidence of our friendship..once upon a time... (now only FB msg...)
