Guest guest Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Ruari, I feel EXACTLY as you do! It is a habit of mine that I speak, nod or smile to those I pass. It helps maintain a positive outlook on both sides I believe. And yes, when people don't look up, or don't respond, it does make me sad for a moment, and I wonder why people don't take the opportunity to connect with each other, even if only for an instant! Love to you, Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Hi Guys, I always try to smile and acknowledge people here in china, I think that some people are too shy or lacking in confidence to even smile at a stranger. It takes a certain amount of " oumph " to smile at a stranger. Don't feel sad for people, feel happy, even if they don't respond feel happy for them , they are god also, doesn't matter how they choose to express it right now. Just some thoughts, Love Elektra x x x --- raazor wrote: > Ruari, > I feel EXACTLY as you do! It is a habit of mine > that I speak, nod or smile to those I pass.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Hello Everyone, I too always try to smile and nod my head as I pass people. It makes me feel good and glow inside and I get the same feeling from the recipient of my smile and nod. There are those who don't reciprocate the nod and it used to bother me, but then I would tell myself that they are probably not having a good day and even though they didn't respond in a nice manner I know it touched them. Sometimes it is a delayed reaction, others I am not sure what is up with them, but I don't let it bother me. I nod and smile even if they aren't looking because there might be a chance they will look my way as I am smiling and nodding and it just might make their day. I love all of you! Have a Blessed and wonderful day...KatherineElektra Fire <elektra.fire wrote: Hi Guys,I always try to smile and acknowledge people here inchina, I think that some people are too shy or lackingin confidence to even smile at a stranger.It takes a certain amount of "oumph" to smile at astranger.Don't feel sad for people, feel happy, even if theydon't respond feel happy for them , they are god also,doesn't matter how they choose to express it rightnow.Just some thoughts,Love Elektra x x x--- raazor (AT) adelphia (DOT) net wrote:> Ruari,> I feel EXACTLY as you do!
