Greeting and Talking

Berkeley, Tuesday, April 27, 2026 2:24 am

Sometimes, one is in company with another fellow. Then, it might be OK to skip the traditional self of stopping to greet and talk to others, in respect to the fellow. Every person has their preference are not are the self.

At the end what in matters in the initial intention, even if the ungreet or the not chance to stop to talk to the other person occurred, because one is respecting the initial fellow company.

In its tricky, but always the initial intention has a heavy weight because that it is in the heart.

Life teaches over time to carry a good heart, that brings peace despite actions, etc. because the purpose is clear.

OK. But the initial intention is not there. i.e. being in the self with headphones and skipping a hi, while alone. It can happen. Strangely, in other scenario and situation I did. I did the greeting. But, although, there is a bit of justification, because I have hacked a solution for the ringing ears, with work safety headphones, or whatever the name of that is, which reduces 30 decibels. BART can reach 100 or 110 decibels. 85 decibels are harmful for the hears. 100 db are terrible. So it is understandable to have ringing ears. One can lose hearing, which might be happening with continues daily elongated exposure to that as it has been happening. Plus I was running late. So, I hopped in the bart wagon, and isolated the surrounding world with my old school, very functional headphones, and submerged and immersed into my notes and reading. Quite impolite to a person who has been very kind to me. I hope could understand of the prior ringing ears. But it is true, that avoiding a conversation and keeping to the self, it might be a sort of selfishness, and spiritual sloth. I guess it had to happened to be more aware of it.
