Some of us were lucky enough to be bought up with love and a sense of rightness and ethcis, and yet in a family of five or ten there will be so many different personalities and all will be different. <BR/><BR/>When I first moved to a city in my teens I used to meet people's eyes and say hello or nod - if you didn't do this in a country town it was rude...My eldest sister used to tell me it wasn't the dione thing to acknowledge strangers - she was tryiong to protect me I think.<BR/><BR/>Got me into a bit of trouble in the city because...well I was young. Now I'm not so I can meet eyes and nodd and smile. Sometimes I get a smile back and sometimes it comes when I'm low...<BR/><BR/>We have to see the people around us before we can understand. But htere are some people your gut instinct tells you to give a wide berth... and I'm sure you know who they are, they're just bloody bad.Middle Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09962830669606760640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31726608.post-23571989442427705712008-08-22T15:55:00.000-07:002008-08-22T15:55:00.000-07:00Oh goodness..I think about the same things.
