"have you ever noticed that there's a big difference between fine and happy? "
People ask "How are you?" and we answer "I'm fine". It's rare to find people telling "I'm happy" to the person who has asked this formal and famous question. Is it a difference that we all know well but we don't need to figure out what the difference is ? Or it doesn't matter ? Or it maybe boring ? Or it's hard to explain the difference? Hard that you are incapable of getting the right words to use while trying to explain or while you're just thinking about it. That's what we do. We ignore things we are incapable of elaborating . What I think is that happiness is an expression or a feeling of our situation, but 'fine' is fine. I don't know what it is. Just everyone use it without doing a good mental research for the right word. It's FINE. We don't have that much time to do a research for a single word. We can't understand what people want as an answer from us of the question "how are you?". Maybe they expect the boring "FINE". Maybe they expect something interesting like happy, sad, angry... Blah blah blah. Maybe they expect nothing. But they ask because it's the formal way to start a conversation. But some people also ask because they really care. And they might get disappointed with your answer. And they have to be okay with your answer. Fine is okay. Okay is comforting. Comforting is nothing to worry about. But see, it says how much interested you are to talk to the person. I'm not talking about the vocal conversations, it's all about the texting. I don't know how people think. But I get a vibe that this person is showing less interest to have a talk. And usually I never ask "how are you?". It's because I'm aware of the answer you're about to give. It's because I don't like the answer. It's because I want to avoid you showing less interest. Well I've written a lot about interest. Because I take it seriously. And it's important.
Huh! I don't really think I've elaborated the difference. But yeah I hope you get it . Gud night. Another stupid post 🥴
Love, Pran
