Where the nice people at?

Alright I want to post about something that has been on my mind for years now. It’s a question of hope nice people really is. I found out that majority of people men or women are not. I don’t want to give you the impression that people today are rude but they are just not that nice and friendly.

Let me start of by touching on strangers we see everyday of our lives. When you walk in to the mall or just walking down the street. You will realized that people just mind their own business if not then you are one of them. My theory is in everybody’s mind they are thinking why should I bother they never smile or say hi to me or anything. What if I smile at the wrong person I could get beat up.

So one day I tried an experiment and I went to Queen’s bay mall and try to find out how many people are actually friendly enough to at least smile back at you when you say hi to them first. I when to all the floors and say hi to random people of all race, gender and age. Most of the reaction I got was a no reaction or just give you a stare with no smile on their faces. People just walk pass by even they are greeted. Well at least 4 or 5 people smile and 3 people actually say hi back.

Ok so maybe the hi to strangers was rather strange so I tried this on the new years. I stand at my house’s balcony and I see lots of people walk back from the new year’s day celebration. So I think hey why not wish every body who pass by ‘HAPPY NEW YEAR!”. Guess what I tried to 11 people I count a group of people who walk together as one. I was only happy with 1 and only 1 group of who seems to me to be college or university students, they actually stop and go “ WOOOO! THANK YOU! YOU HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO! GOOD NIGHT!”. The rest of the 10 were just walking and thinking I was a weirdo.

So you see people me being nice = me being a weirdo. Why? Because to them it rare that people do that and it seems weird and strange. Well I challenge all of you to be more friendly and nice to greet people that you see. If more people start being nice then it wont seem like a weird thing to do rite? So why not? Take it, take that chance to try to be nice to everyone you see. Then the would be a nicer place to live in FOR YOU AND FOR ME! =]
