This morning, as usual, I went out running. When I got back to my house, I’ve met this neighbour. As my parent taught me, I said ‘Hello’ to her even though it was the first time I saw her. My surprise was didn’t answer me back. Maybe she didn’t hear me –I am absolutely sure that she did because I said laud enough-. What annoyed me more was the look on her face. She didn’t look a really nice person. Maybe she has a bad morning o she had some kind of a problem. I don’t want to judge her, but I think that she could have answered me back. It is free and good manners.
This neighbour is not the only person in the world who is not capable of saying hello. I sit near a door in the office and most of the persons that come in never say hello. My colleague Mireia and I, we always say something to force them to answer back. As I said before, it is good manners. I really think is something easy to do.
When you get to a place or you are with somebody in a closed room or space, I think that you should, at least, say ‘Hello’. I am not saying that you have to start a conversation or ask anybody for things that maybe don’t be appropriated but saying ‘Hello’ or ‘Good morning’ is an easy thing to do.
I think that it is very important that people have good manners. In this sense, I really thank the education my parents give me. I know that it looks difficult and maybe now society is changing, but you should never lose good habits or your education. Parents and teachers have to do an effort and try that the new generations are as polite as the actual. Obviously, there are also older people that don’t have any manners and it is also reportable.
Good manners are important and everybody should have a minimum. Or is it very difficult to say hello?
