Every day I hear "how's it going?" or "how are you today?" The question up front is, do they really want to know? Is it an on going question that is looking to be lied about? The typical answer is "good," "okay," "great," but is it just a common response created by social tradition? or maybe just a way to avoid the question. Next up, does it make a difference in someone's day? If they ask you the question in question, and your answer is of a positive notion, will their mood possibly be improved? Majority seem to feel uplifted by the presence of positive thinkers. Simultaneously brought down if they appear to be fraudulent. So if one can not answer in any manner other than negative responses, should they even answer at all?
