Have you ever been walking down the hallway at your school and saw a familiar person at the other end? This wasn't any familiar person though, this is Brett Johnson, you did a project with in 8th grade and used to be pretty good friends with eachother. But with time people's friendships fade and new friendships are gained.
Brett was never a very outgoing person and you haven't spoken to him in a couple years now. By this time you are with in 30 yards of Brett now both awkwardly faking cell-phone usage and looking anywhere but towards eachother. Finally you are with in 10 feet of Brett and the moment of truth has came, should you say hi and try to re-kindle a long lost friendship? Or do you go on with your day and leave memories of Brett Johnson to Mrs. Walkers 8th grade english class.
SAY HI.
There is truly no harm in simply greeting someone and noticing their exsistince. To many times this has occured to me with far to many individuals. Brett Johnson was just an example, but this situaiton happens with many old friends, teachers, parents and anyone else you have spent time of your life with. My theory: If you have spent the most precious thing you posses (your life) with an individual at any moment in time, then you can take the energy to simply greet them while walking by. There is no such thing as having to many friends, keep them. =)
