One of the hardest things human beings face in life is the ability to live in a society. This means that it is hard to remove one's individual idiosyncracies for the sake of the group. I have often wondered why it matters what other people think. As long as I do not do anything overtly offensive, it should not matter. However, i have come to realize (at least mentally) that we, people, need to work hard in order to make others happy. This means, if we are in a group setting, no matter how we feel, we should greet others with the proper respect and courtesy. Again, this is something with which I struggle. However, if we do this, perhaps, at the very least, it will make us feel better, let alone make the other person feel they are important in our eyes. We must view all people as fellow humans, for if we see them lower, we will not treat them with respect whatsoever.
