Only On The Walters Post

Folks, I gotta tell you something about these Facebook and Twitter posts that claim if you don’t share them, you’re going to get cursed—or if you do, the universe will somehow reward you. That’s pure nonsense.

First off, nobody’s sitting up there checking your feed to see if you clicked share. If they were, they’d probably be busy dealing with hurricanes, politicians, and idiots trying to sneak in and out of Walmart without paying. Your little tap on that button doesn’t mean a thing.

And let’s be real—good luck doesn’t travel over Wi-Fi. And forwarding a chain email won’t make the universe suddenly say, “Oh, this one’s good. Let’s toss him a bone.” That’s not how reality works.

Here’s the kicker: these posts work on fear and guilt. That’s it. Guilt, fear, anxiety. They want you to feel like you’re failing somehow if you scroll past. You know what that reminds me of? Those old chain letters. You remember them, right? “Send this to ten people, or you’ll be haunted by a ghost.” Only now it’s Jesus holding a puppy, and the ghost is your nonexistent bad luck.

Belief isn’t something you push with a button. It doesn’t care about likes, shares, or how many people see it. Real decency shows up in the everyday things—helping a neighbor, telling the truth, being there when it matters. So don’t panic, and don’t click share out of fear. Scroll past if you want, laugh at how ridiculous it all is, and if you feel like it, do something real for someone. That matters far more than any Facebook post ever will.

Then again… some people will believe anything, as long as it’s printed in fancy letters and tells them what to do.
