    As an Austrian, this "greeting" word is hmmmm, not really great.

    The contrary would be true; there would be no peace in the globe. Many things that needed to be spoken would go unspoken if everyone would stop and consider before speaking, which is by the way impossible to accomplish. Things get worse if we overthink our actions. And occasionally you just want to talk freely and impulsively to the people you care about without worrying about what you’re going to say or not say.

    The Truth May set you free but It ultimately Hertz first when we speak the truth no matter how they take it
    People will always want to hear more

    Happy and sad being the same emotion only expressed differently
