Good morning!
There is a certain mystique about the beginning of each day.
And everyone has a ritual of its own.
Stretching out. Having some coffee. Watch the news or reading the newspaper.
And reasons abound for you to incorporate this expression on your morning ritual:
Good morning!
It is the simplest gesture of all.
Simpler than turning on the TV or opening the newspaper.
Simpler than pouring your coffee.
Simpler than starting the car or getting on the bus.
And yet, it has the power to transform immediately.
Wishing a good morning is recognizing the significance of the others.
Acknowledging the existence of that person.
It's being and letting the others to be aware that we all coexist and are equal.
And knowing that not even some social degree or the weather forecast can change that.
By saying "good morning" to that person on the elevator that you may never see again
and to all the others that live in our routines
creates something even more special:
Sets a trend, creates respect and spread kindness.
Leads people to think as you go: there goes a nice guy.
Even if you never have said them other words than these:
Good morning!
And at the first opportunity that these people may have
to repay the kindness, be sure: they will.
With simple things like helping with the bags or opening the door,
or something as noble as saving your life.
But, above all, this simple words mean:
Hello, I'm aware of your existence and that we live in the very same place.
And that the rain that falls upon you is the same that falls upon me.
And that your heart will stop some day. As will mine.
And in this moment, we will be the same.
So let's do our best until then. Good morning!
