To Be Polite
Hello how are you?
Is a formality we all know.
We hear it everyday, walking down the road.
What's up? They may ask.
Or hello how are you today?
Yet only 1% actually stop for an anwser.
Only 1% actually wait to hear what you have to say.
Why you may ask?
Why do they ask if they don't really want to know?
It's simple really.
They are just being polite.
Its rude to just walk on by without a greeting.
Its scandalous to not ask how they are.
It don't matter if you wait for the anwser.
It don't matter if you brush aside their anwser.
Just as long as you say it.
Just as long as the greeting rolls off your tounque.
You are safe. You are polite.
So long as the words have been spoken aloud you can walk on by ignoring the person further.
Why though?
Why is it considered polite to ask someone a question but not wait for the anwser.
Why is it rude to only say hello without a how are you.
I would think it's more rude to ask someone how are you and ignore the anwser than to just walk on by.
Especially when that person has depression.
It hurts worse then fire.
To be asked that question.
Only to see the asker doesn't really care.
But hey, what do I know I am only a woman, with depression.
