Monday, March 05, 2007 Just witnessed an interesting phenomena again. Interesting from a third-person point of view, because of the inconsistency of behavior. Also interesting because my own behavior was also inconsistent, when I could have done something more consistent. Probably the distances in hall are too close, such that it gets tiring to smile and wave each time you see someone you know. Just like nobody smiles and waves to their parents everytime he sees them at home. Even though we really don't see each other that often, erm by this I don't mean the parents. On hindsight it is quite true, that people in close proximity soon drop forms of polite greeting. But what we have in hall is actually pseudo-close proximity. And I say pseudo-close because this kind of proximity is has more in common with the proximity between inmates in a jail, than the kind of proximity defined as living together under the same roof. We all live less than 10m apart, yet for the most part we live in our own cell-like rooms, kept in not by the desire to be alone (not always, anyway), but by the tons of work we have to do. =( It's all interesting food for thought. Breakfast for the brain, haha. All the same, I think next time I'll try smiling and waving.
