The Irrelevant Greeting

This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.

I have to greet everyone at my job by saying "Good morning Mr/Mrs/Ms __________" no matter what I think of that person. As a result, this greeting is irrelevant.
Why? Because I hide my feelings when I use that greeting. I could think very little or very highly of a person, yet still greet them the same way.
Is this fair? Should someone who's a wonderful person receive the same greeting as the really terrible person? Absolutely.
Why? Because if a terrible person gets enough good greetings, they may start to become a good person themselves. And if that happens, the greeting is no longer irrelevant. It then has been a relevant greeting, because it made a positive change in a person.
Keep those positive greetings coming. They may become relevant eventually.

Regards,
Irrelevant
