It can be a mean world; sadly, there is no shortage of rude people. Throughout my travels, I pleasantly discovered that if you are friendly to others, they will usually mirror the same in return. Regardless of which cities or countries I visit, the majority of people I encounter tend to be friendly, personable, and caring.
In her book "The Art of Connection," author Susan C. Young reflects on the duality of human nature, highlighting how rudeness exists in the world. Despite encountering rude individuals, she emphasizes that kindness often begets kindness. Her experiences throughout various travels illustrate that a friendly approach typically invokes a similar response from others, leading to positive interactions.
Younger underscores that regardless of geographical differences, people tend to be warm, approachable, and compassionate when met with friendliness. This observation serves as a reminder to cultivate positive relationships and enrich connections with those around us.
