when you are greeting a person(or closing a meeting) and you use phrases like "hows it goin?" or "good morning" all you are really saing is "im alive and so are you"

when you ask someone hows it going, you dont really expect them to respong with "man, its pretty shitty, now im goignt o tell you all about how bad its going, so i can make you feel like shit too"

by using the word "peace" in this way, the word loses its meaning.
I find it realisticly appealing when someone replies to my "how's it going?" by
being honest. Life isn't always the perfect pair of tits or a perfectly ripened fruit.
If someone replies "Life sucks" or "fuck off" who gives a shit. You never know
what you might learn from "listening" to someone elses life experiences, good
or bad. The reality of it is, the weather isn't fair all of the time. If you want
to prosper . quoting maynard. Watch the weather change
