whats in a salutation?

May 08, 2006 02:01

Im in pain right now but we wont talk about that cuz i dont wanna think about it. ANyways, classes are over just a couple papers away from summer! I am gonna stay at Le Moyne and be a RA in harry hall. Hopefully, Im gonna be working with Houckie at a day camp monday through friday.

I was actually thinking about the random people who asked if I was okay after seeing my away today that said i was in pain. I wondered why some of them even bothered to ask. I mean do they really care? Probably not significantly. Its kind of like when we greet people and we say hi, how are you? I wonder why we even say this to strangers even. Its not like everyone cares. They ask this question expecting people to say good, or well or fine. When somone actually says :pretty shitty" people dont know how to react. I say dont ask unless you you actually give a damn. If i ask hi how are you its because i care, not just for the sake of fulfilling some societal expected salutation. I would hope that people would do the same. I mean if you dont care then please dont even pretend. I dont really have time for that anymore. I have plenty of people in my life who actuall do care and for whom I care about in return. I just hate when people are fake and want to be looked at as a caring person. Some poeple who asked i just wanted to say "what do you care?" but I didnt cuz maybe they truly did care-i dont really know.

Hopefully I can go to bed soon and will feel okay enough to do some work tomorrow. grrr... this is the worst possible timing for this to happen but I guess I cant change that, I need to just push through! Life isnt easy, or very fun most of the time!
