Is Greeting A Show Of Respect Or A Wish? by Basildvalour(m): 7:26am On Nov 06, 2014 |
I have been thinking about what "greeting" truly represents. Some see it as a sign of respect which the younger children must pay to their elders while others see it as just a mere wish. To me good; morning, afternoon, evening, night are all good wishes for a fulfilled day and I can tell it to anyone irrespective of age and size without necessarily waiting for them to say it first. How do you see greeting, is it just a sign of respect that younger ones should only give to their elders or just a mere wish which anyone could give to anyone? Have a great day! |
