Nicely articulated. Thank you for this. In Ireland where I’m living at the moment everyone asks how you are but continues walking …. They don’t wait for an answer. They don’t care. I wish they would simply say “good morning” that’s more authentic I feel than adding a question that they don’t need answers.

But you articulate it beautifully. We are Acknowledging the existence and presence of others. And this is important. Thank you 🙏
