It seems to me that one of the most invalidating experiences of everyday life is the question “how are you?” Because for many of us, if we were to answer the question truthfully, we would be instantly incarcerated for harboring evil desires. At least 50% of the human populace has thoughts that would scare the tar out of the average citizen. This is why when I greet someone, I believe the most compassionate thing I can say to them is simply “hey…whaddup…?” The unanswered question for me these days is…whatever happened to hope? Where does it live. What… is it doing.
