How are you?
How often do you come across this question, “How are you?” This question most commonly followed by a warm Hello or a surprised Hi, is almost always followed by I am fine or great here. More often than not, when you are feeling down or when you are struck in the middle of a crisis but you still put up this happy face and say, I’m good.
Speaking in the language of facebook, a witty comment followed by a customary smiley or LOL. Whether you are in the mood to laugh out loud or you can actually put up a big smile across your face. I or in general the most of us, end up replying with a customary answer.
I believe, we owe and we tend to give the honest answer to the people who we truly believe love us. It may be your best buddy, an old friend, a family member or anyone who you believe excepts you for who you are.
The question as simple and small as it sounds but it makes us lie at some point or the other. The answer as is as simple as the question, it all comes back to who do you think actually cares for an honest answer. So when you are finished with reading this, look back and see how many times you have said, I’m fine when you aren’t.
