I will continue to hold doors open for people even if they don’t thank me. I will continue to stand in line patiently at the supermarket when the store refuses to pay for more staff and thank the cashier. I will still smile at a stranger even if they think I’m weird. Because everyday we do not know what people are going through. Maybe they are in a terrible relationship and are being treated cruelly.
Maybe they are so worried about paying bills. Maybe they have just lost their mother, father, sibling, dog. To someone that smile won’t seem weird, it might be just what they need right there in that moment. One day you might need that smile from others.
@SpockResists I agree totally except on London Underground. Smiling at people is absolutely forbidden πŸ˜‚
@Chris_Swan Thank goodness I lived in W1, I had no need to catch the tube πŸ––πŸ˜†
@SpockResists That's posh. I'm an E2 gal ( but don't live in London anymore)
