I suddenly remember how when I was just a young boy, going out and suddenly seeing a friend I know, I just shouted from across the room or across the aisle or across the street and started waving frantically with a big smile on my face. Not a care who's watching or judging, it was pure and simple and authentic.
What happened? How am I now the one that couldn't care less if I do see an old friend from afar. Sometimes I even go to the extent of avoiding that person just so that I don't have to smile or say hi. When did a simple and pure greeting become awkward and discouraged?
This has been a great awareness for me, like a wake up call. Next time, be more conscious and choose.
