Greetings.

Have you really listened when someone greets a friend it is different when greeting a stranger. There is somehow more feeling in the greeting for a stranger. Perhaps one is hoping for a favour from the stranger. The friend one knows that a favour is always forthcoming after all what is a friend for.

When the eyes meet the stranger is at a disadvantage, he or she either brazenly looks straight ahead trying to weigh up the mood that one is in, or they cannot look one in the eyes. Either way you are at an advantage for you either want something from the stranger or not.

The friendly hand held out for you to shake, do you use a hard grip to show confidence or have you a weak grip which is either from your personal make up or your subconscious fear of strangers in general. It could be that you have heard some specialist or other that asks people not to shake hands as it is the best way to pass on illness or germs thus spreading diseases.

Have you an inborn hate of being kissed not only by family members. Strangers do not as a rule kiss and it is not expected. Think back to the times when you met your grandmother that elderly lady that wanted to be kissed by all members of her family. That old mouth the wrinkled old face and your Mother telling you to kiss the old lady. It invoked a feeling of disgust every time. I know, I too was more or less forced to kiss when I would have given a gentle hug and meant that I really liked the old dear but kissing no way.

Why am I writing this nonsense for you all to read, well I will let you all into a little secret, I have nothing better to do. On the television is  repeated film that I have seen at least a dozen times, a rotten film one that should never have been filmed. I am too on my own and that is fatal when I am left to my own devices something like this scribble comes right out of the blue and leaves me happy at being able to pass on my boredom to you and you not forgetting you.

I know many of you will have a smile after reading this my rubbish some will say this should be forbidden why is he allowed to spread this kind of rubbish on the internet. There will be the odd one that will agree with me if one has something to say then let them say it in any form that suits them best.

If you really are against this my writing then join me perhaps you can do much better than I but until someone does start writing nonsense I will carry on. This is by the way not a threat just a promise from Bern.
