Are you opposed to sending group blessings to relatives during the Chinese New Year?

I am more disgusted with sending group messages to express New Year greetings during the Chinese New Year. That is really not polite. Every year during the Spring Festival, mobile phones always receive New Year greeting text messages one after another. When I received text messages before, I always felt that it felt good to be remembered. After reading every word, reply carefully.

But in recent years, I have become increasingly indifferent to this. I will never read it seriously again, I just politely reply with a Happy New Year. I have asked many people around me, and they have received so many mass mailings that they have become numb to it. Rather than saying New Year's greetings, it's actually more like a message bombing.

I tried to trace the source of this change in mentality, which was that I received several identical New Year greetings text messages in one day. The rhetoric is gorgeous and full of creativity, but it doesn't make people feel a single ripple in their hearts. It’s not that I disdain New Year greetings, but it’s hard to make people feel blessed by sending out uniform New Year greetings.

Of course, we have to exclude some elders here. They don’t understand WeChat and only know how to forward these blessings to relatives and friends. I will still reply seriously. But to be honest, more people are soulless forwarding machines. I have such a friend on WeChat, and my conversation with him is quite simple. Every year during the Chinese New Year, he sends a New Year greeting copy to a group, and I reply to him Happy New Year.

Other than that, there were no inquiries, no quarrels, no interactions, and the chat records looked quite magical. And he still happily sends out group messages every year and wishes his friends on the WeChat list as a routine. In his opinion, it is necessary to send some group New Year greetings messages on such an important day to bring blessings to every friend. But in fact, can it really bring blessings? In the era of WeChat, copywriting can be easily copied online and can be forwarded to many people with one click. The modern version of borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha is similar, and the same bouquet of flowers is used to offer to multiple Buddhas. No matter how gorgeous the copywriting is, it cannot carry real emotions.

In the past, people gave New Year greeting messages with sincere and warm blessings and good expectations. But since we decided to send the same New Year greeting messages in groups, the blessings have lost the meaning that people originally gave them. The so-called blessings have become full of absurd language, even a little disgusting!
