When you're in an elevator or train compartment with strangers for a short time, shouldn't there automatically be a feeling of connection?
But somehow everyone acts like everyone else is invisible. No hello, no goodbye... everyone either stares blankly into space or stares at their phone. I find it rather disconcerting.
In the countryside, people are more likely to greet each other or thank the bus driver when getting off.
In the city, I get strange looks when I say hello or thank you. But I think being seen sparks a connection and a feeling of gratitude.
Isn't that what we all want?
Let’s see each other more often🕊️
