How are you? I’m fine. The two way pleasantry of insincerely inquiring of an individual’s expected present state is obsolete. Expressing individual emotion should never be hindered by a limiting social expectation/norm. Current-day face value pleasantries mock and minimize the natural and vital human ability to express and feel emotion. This expression and reciprocating understanding is what makes us. The lack thereof destroys us.

Face value is not always the truth. Perspective could change everything.
