Margaret’s Note of the Week
Some cultures prioritize the acknowledgement of strangers as a social norm. A greeting, wave, or smile to friends and strangers alike. The human connection these interactions provide are keys for a healthy and functioning society.
I learned this recently from a man named Samir. He suggested that if enough people in D.C. were to adopt this practice, the social fabric of American society might benefit as well. An inspirational and practical idea that can be implemented without need of money or a federal mandate. Maybe even prescient considering D.C. was just named the loneliest city in America.
This weekend I plan to acknowledge a few neighbors and strangers with a smile and hello. If Samir’s message resonates with you too, come join the fun.
P.S. Thank you Samir for the great conversation and idea.
