Just say Hello

Stop saying, Hi how are you?, or hows things? Or Hows your day? Unless you really want to know, and have time, empathy, heart and head space to do justice to some tortured souls reply.

Probably many times in my life I have found these inane greetings annoying. But twice in my life. One of them now. They render me, speechless, near hysterical, furious. Often with a totally well meaning but at best thoughtless stranger. It can sabotage my whole day. Could also leave you stunned by a seemingly ridiculous over reaction, over sharing.

Many of us are struggling with some huge stuff.

So please just say hello or smile and walk on by.
