I HAVE always believed that all human beings, by nature, want to do good and live in harmony with others. Of course, despite the best of intentions, many of us lose our way out of necessity, i.e., poverty for one, or due to the necessities of our jobs, or perhaps just out of weakness, whether this be in mind, body, or spirit. Some too, get easily influenced by fake information out there on the Internet, or by hanging out with the wrong kinds of people.
Be positive. In your next meeting with friends or family, try not to greet them with “Oy, tumaba ka! ” It’s not the best conversation starter, especially if you’ve not seen each other in ages. Even if you think you’re complimenting them by saying, “Maganda ka pa rin. ,” or “Ang payat-payat mo na! ,” it’s still a poor way of greeting another person. Any comments on another person’s appearance is frankly, shallow.
Learn to appreciate others. Be respectful of other people’s time, work and thoughts. So in a conversation, put your mobile phone down and pay attention to what’s being said. Go beyond the usual “Kumusta na? ,” and learn to ask meaningful questions about the other’s personal goings-on. If it is a work colleague you’re meeting with, ask about their parents or their family, and if it is a personal friend or family member, find out more about their studies/careers, or their latest hobbies.
Invest your time. When trying to build or sustain relationships, we need to actually take the time to do so. Just because we’re all connected online, we sometimes think that’s enough sharing of our lives with others. My friend Des, who I’ve known close to 30 years, lives abroad, but once or twice a year we get down to messaging each other either during the other’s birthday, or some milestone that needs to be shared.
