That's an excellent question. One that can be asked every single day of anyone we meet. What's up? is mostly asked when someone is looking downcast or forlorn or alone. It is usually followed by the response 'Nuthin'. Paradoxically, nuthin' usually means something.
How tuned in are we to each other? Do we really care what goes on in the life on another or are we so rapt in our own that we barely notice. Do we seek to expand on the 'nuthin' responses we get.
Next time you get a ''nuthin' response take the time to become interested in finding out the something that is behind the nuthin'.
It may surprise you. You may just be the one to show that someone does actually care.
We are living in a time when we see the world shrinking before our very eyes, and the smaller it gets, the more ego-centric we become.
Let's try to become other-centric and reap the rewards before the world closes in around us and we find ourselves alone on a crowded planet.
I would love to know what you think about all this........please share your thoughts. I would appreciate and value each one of them.
