Am I out of date? Or am I too sensitive? đ¤
:::
I remember when I was a kid my parents taught me 4 magical words/phrases: âgood morningâ, âsorryâ, âpleaseâ and âthank youâ. Do you know these? Iâm sure you do. But do you use them? đ
:::
Iâm not a kid anymore yet those are still basic phrases for me and I use them constantly.
I walk into an elevator or pass my neighbours in the neighbourhood and I always say âGood morningâ no matter if I like this person, no matter if I know this person đ¤ˇââď¸. And what do I get? Nothing.đ
:::
I do an extra job for somebody at work or spend my time helping somebody and what do I get? Nothing.đ
:::
Iâve been waiting for somebody who didnât show up on time or I wasted my time for somebody who didnât even care and what do I get? Nothing.đ
:::
Are words âgood morningâ, âthank youâ, âsorryâ out of date? Is it not âcoolâ to say those words? I honestly donât get it.đł
:::
For me there is one simple value that connects all those phrases and the fact if you use it or not â respect towards other people đ.
:::
If I say âgood morningâ to somebody and he/she doesnât reply â thatâs lack of respect for me.đ
If I do something for somebody and he/she wonât even thank me â thatâs lack of respect for me.đ
If I waste my time for somebody and donât hear simple âsorryâ â thatâs lack of respect for me.đ
:::
Of course it doesnât apply to everyboody (thank God) but there are more and more those kind of situations and it really upsets me đ.
:::
Like Keanu Reeves once said â”I don’t want to be part of a world, where being kind is a weakness.â
:::
You donât have to like everybody, you donât have to agree with everybody but PLEASE lets treat each other with respect đ. Lets bring good old phrases âgood morningâ, âsorryâ, âpleaseâ and âthank youâ back to everyday life. What do you say?
P.s. I’m back đ
