To care is to share

It's in our daily basis that we wake up, eat some breakfast, go to work, learn something and surely, meet people. No man is an island, i suppose. Everyone meets others everyday. Well, the word others might be ambiguous as it just can be anybody; friends, parents, clients, teachers or enemies! The big question to ponder is, do we actually greet these people whenever we bump into them? Greeting is prevalent especially amongst English or Japanese citizens. What about us in Malaysia? Perhaps some of us are still wondering whether we really need to practise greetings. As a matter of fact, a greeting shows that we care about people around us. Simple questions like "How are you?" or "How are you doing?" are examples of how all of us should do it. Body gestures and facial expressions are two other alternative ways for us to choose from. To flash our sweetest smile does not even require a drop of sweat. Anyway, asking others caring questions is sharing the happiness and troubles one actually bears inside. It doesn't take price, it's not a waste of time and it's not painful or fatal. Thank you for reading! *Smile flashed*
