fake.
we often think
that we are
being considerate
when we ask people
“how are you”
or other similar
conversation starters
but the truth is,
we’re being
completely superficial
and arrogant
to others’ feelings
when we ask
these kinds
of questions,
we often expect
answers
that are positive
or don’t brush
on the truth
of how someone
is actually feeling
if we really cared,
we would genuinely
ask.
but instead,
we use these phrases
as conversation starters
for conversations
we don’t want to have.
but we do
it
because we think
we’re being polite
by degrading
the human feelings,
we aren’t being
polite -
we’re actually
being
very rude
to creation
and the fact
that
we are
walking energy
we think
we’re being polite,
but really,
we are disregarding
what life is.
we are
disregarding
ourselves.
and we wallow
in the suffering.
