SAY HELLO! WHY NOT?
“Hello” is one of the first words we learn as children, as it’s a simple and common greeting. We usually learn it as babies. And with stress and age, we lose its use.
Saying “Hello” is accompanied by a positive feeling, it makes people smile.”
Hello” is simple, warm, it’s my social Zen.

Saying “good morning” or “good afternoon” to your neighbors may seem like a simple action, but this practice can have a big impact on building a friendlier and more welcoming community. Greeting people who live near them creates a closer environment and strengthens interpersonal relationships.
One of the benefits of greeting neighbors is the creation of a stronger sense of community. Often, people feel isolated in their own homes and have no real connection with the people who live around them. By saying “good morning” or “good afternoon”, you create a friendlier and more receptive environment, which can help develop a sense of community.
In addition, saying hello to neighbors can be a way of building a local support network. In emergencies or when they need help, having a network of people nearby can be very useful. When we know our neighbors and have a friendly relationship with them, we are more likely to ask for and offer help when needed.
Another benefit of greeting neighbors is that it can help create a safer environment. When people know each other and feel connected, they are more likely to work together to keep the neighborhood safe. For example, if someone sees something suspicious going on, they are more likely to report it to the police or the neighborhood group than if there was no relationship of trust between people.
Finally, greeting your neighbors is a simple way of being kind and showing respect. In a world where we often feel disconnected from others, this practice can be a powerful way of creating a culture of kindness and empathy. Best of all, this kindness costs nothing.
In short, greeting neighbors with a simple “good morning” or “good afternoon” can have a number of benefits in building a friendlier, more welcoming and safer community. This practice can help create bonds of friendship, build a local support network and promote a culture of kindness and respect. Best of all, it’s an easy and affordable action that everyone can take.
