Days passed and we are now in November. My mind wandered and wondered, where did the time go? Soon, it will be the end of 2020, the most "eventful" year so far. A year of many firsts, of many discoveries and for many, trials and tribulations.
Every day, we wake up and go through the day. Some days, easier than another. Some days are so hard that we wished they end as fast as possible. Some days, even when the day has not arrived, there are anticipations and sometimes anxiety. Some days, it does not matter. The day may come and go as it pleases.
As the day passes by, just as fast as it comes and goes, we decide on what we need to do or not to do. Obligations and responsibilities usually take priority. If we have plants to water, pets to feed, work to be done, chores to be completed, we do them. If we feel up to it, we get loads of things done and the day may feel productive. Some days, we just don't feel like doing much and the mind just decides to put aside the to-do things.
Sometimes, even when we do not do much, the days passes by but we feel good. Where else some days, it feels like crap. I guess that is what us, homo sapiens are like. We have so many thoughts and emotions within us, that each may surface as and when it pleases. I wonder if our pets think and feel as much as us. Animals in general, through their need for survival, would have much to think about too, don't they?
"Did you have a good day?" or "How was your day?" someone might ask. It takes a moment or two to think about it and at the end of it, the answer is usually ambiguous. I don't know, really. Some parts of the day may be good, some parts may be so-so and maybe one part or two could have been better.
What makes a good day, anyway? Or what makes a bad day? Each noun is subjective to an individual. A good day for me, may not be considered as a good day for you and vice versa. But should I care or do you care?
During one of my travels, as I was walking around, I was greeted with "How's it going?" or "How are you doing?". Each time, I would answer the greeting until someone told me that I didn't need to, they were just being polite and didn't care how my day was. That got me thinking.
If on a fine day, I didn't do much but somehow, I feel I had a good day. When I tell that to someone who asks, "Oh...." the response would come. And if I had a bad day, what would you do about it or what can you do about it? I can't help but wonder, what do you care about my day anyway? I guess, it is possible that you would like to ask my favour and therefore, you would like to gauge how my mood was. Or perhaps, it is just a conversation filler?
So really, do you want to know or do you really care how was my day? Whether or not I had a good day or a bad day, it will be my own to appreciate.
Prompt: good day
Well greetings now are merely just to show face but besides that, i don't think the response is as valued as it was years ago. If you mattered to the person, of course your response would matter too but besides that though i don't think people really care about each other now
