Asking a question is NEVER a greeting to another human.
A greeting is a ‘gift’ of energy, a well wish, a joyful comment directed directly at you, for you to RECEIVE such as Good Morning, Bonjour, Hola, Bongiourno, Jo Napot Kivanok etc.
In Australia it is becoming common to get “How are Ya?” the instant you walk into a store, and an answer is expected immediately. And, what you are expected to say is “Good” no matter how you are feeling…
This makes a habit of making our feelings irrelevant, and when we really need to be incorporating our human feelings into life. If not now, when?
Historically they were made irrelevant, due to the ignorance of the time, and we know so much better now.
Isn’t it time we did better now?
So, greet someone when you meet them! Give them a gift of your energy.
Then – if you know them well enough – moving onto the sharing of your feelings may occur without enquiry, as you each share of yourselves what you are feeling, in a setting that is respectful of real sharing with comfort and time allowance in mind!
Effort put into respect and life quality, ALWAYS leads to greater respect and improved life quality!: )
About C'mon Be a Human Already!
Lover of life, love, joy and music and all that brings clarity to a planet in need. Author, transformative/self mastery educator, sound healer, & singer songwriter. I am particularly interested in all languages, history, bringing an understanding to and mastery of, our feelings and thoughts; helping people attain inner peace; healthy sexual expression, development of consciousness, and in so doing, bringing a balance of our true selves operating in harmony on earth. I can provide the answers, my life has given me this. We have just gone off course. ;)
I was born into a living hell, where I was not allowed to speak -even to learn how- and I needed to employ military survival tactics as a toddler just to get around the house unharmed.;) I was forced to figure out life, or I was not going to survive, and I did so with completely unbiased eyes, as I could trust nothing that I was told by family who intended me harm. I started meditating in early childhood as just a natural instinct to run away as far as I could, behind my eyes . Figuring out what had caused my mother not to possess any natural maternal instinct, and why she couldn' t love me, enabled me much insight and gave cause for intense, undistracted research. Now it has been given the name Antisocial Personality Disorder/Narcissism/Sociopathy, but as her cruelty and control disorder were always accompanied by historical rules, orders, sayings and beliefs, I learned much of the 'knowledge' leading our species astray at the time.
I wanted to be the best Human Being I could Be, and I wanted to know how. I ran away at 5 years old, with my 8 year old brother asking to come with me, but, having no where to go, I sat at the corner sweet shop realising this and returned in secret, unpacking my little case to 'stick it out'.
So, living within her cruel, ignorant ways, while secretly studying what life was really all about, I noticed my life as a microcosm of what was happening large scale across the globe, which inspired me to share what I learned. : )
Many Blessings to you on your journey!
