What happened to the world?

It's been some time since I received some kindness from people. The last time I heard some kind words or got a kind gesture was very long ago. Today, whoever I interact with behaves absurdly without any compassion. The shopkeepers won't talk politely if asked about a product, the house owners will talk rudely and make random rules any day, people won't smile on the metro, in restaurants they will shout on the waiters and the list goes on. I am not even bringing up autowalas and taxiwalas. What does it take to show some compassion? How much does it take to compromise a little bit so that other person feels good about this world? Why does everyone want to just rip other off? 😞

Ram Ram / Radhe Radhe instantly gets the other person to smile and greet back.

Here is my smile for you, my friend: :)

Please don't mind my ugly smile - I've been told I look better brooding.

Move out of tier 1/2 cities if you want compassion. It is rarer there.

Everybody just wants to dump their frustration/anger on someone. And the biggest cause of their frustration/anger is getting someone else's frustration/anger dumped on them.

Seems like the cycle has gone off enough to make everyone just rude at this point.

I guess it's different with different demographics, I always get complements from old people on my height from time to time!.

Ps: my height is 6'7.

Thank goodness I am born in Mumbai. I visit like 10 odd food places since childhood. Everyone knows me, they smile and talk. Small resto uncle will give gyaan on politics. Auto driver will tell his story and why BMC is a thug. I think the crux here is to ensure they know you are friendly and they will open up. I have had conversations with liftmen at Palladium that are better than ones I have with people from industry.

Mumbai is hands down THE BEST city I have lived in! I have not felt out of place anywhere in Mumbai. Some of the kindest and sweetest people I have met. And I am from the south. If only I could afford the rent there, I would have happily settled down there. 😅😂

Something that worked for me....I always show compassion-smile during every conversation, talk in a pleasant tone, ask how they are in whatever language they Converse in.

Yes exactly, @Kangaroo please dont focus on such people, you will find more of them, ignore them, their behaviour is not something you can control, dont let these nasty people consume your energy, what matters is only the people who are kinder.
