“Hihowareya.” some people say when they see a familiar face.The words run together into a massall sense and meaning lost. All the samepeople do care how you are.After they greet youit’s likely you will greet them backwith an equally meaningless phrase like“Can’t complaincan’t complain.”You could probably complainat lengthor share a brilliant thought you were just beginning when a greeting interrupted you.You don’t thoughyou say“Greatyou

You are not giving each other information about your health and well?being.All the sameyou are sharing information.You’re acknowledging each other’s positions as acknowledged friendsor at least as accepted acquaintances.And you are reestablishing the ties that may have lapsed(衰退) since yesterdaywhen you last met at the elevator or the entrance to the train station.

It’s what anthropologist(人类学家) Bronislaw Malinoski called a phatic(交流感情的) communication.Its message is not in the words you usebut in the fact that you speak ritually(仪式上地) accepted words.In Asiafor examplepeople may ask one another if they have eatenor if they are busy.They’re not really asking for their lunch menu or their agendathey are saying hello.A phatic signal merely says, “I see you there.” It says hi.

There’s embarrassment of being near people without acknowledging them.That uncomfortable feeling is one reason why lonely passengers in the subway may behave as if they cannot see anyone around them or may escape their uncomfortable situation with a book.Some people read all the way homeand never turn a page.

Your friend isn’t asking how you areand you aren’t telling him.Howeverhe is recognizing your existenceand when you answeryou are recognizing his.In additionthe set speech you have shared opens the door to closer communications if both agree.Somedayyou may come to real close friendshipand really tell one another how you are.

Meanwhilepeople who greet one another this way do care.They care enough to recognize someone’s essential humanity(人性)They send a signal across the space betweento sharevery briefly and lightlyin awareness of one another.

Your greetings prove that neither of you has become a social outcast.How are youYou are still a member of society in good status.You are still the one who knows the rituals and secret passwords necessary to get to work each day.
