Do you smile at strangers, regardless of his/her race, religion, gender, appearance and etc? Why?

Question

While walking on street or riding a public bus, when having an eye contact with a stranger, do you smile at him/her regardless of his/her race, religion, gender, appearance and etc? Why?

Answer 1

Yes. It's common sense to be polite, plus I also have had good conversations with the other person. I smile and say hi, how are you today and sometimes end up having a nice conversation. In the past when I've smiled and the other person didn't smile back I have felt put off, but I've gotten over that. I was just being petty.

Answer 2

Yes if I look at someone ,as a rule,if I make eye contact I smile or nod.A person is a person regardless of race ,male,female,or age.I will say that I pay attention to any one who comes with in my space because not everyone is trust worthy and it pays to be whatchful.

Answer 3

i have self assurance in honesty and that i think that on some events I do. after I see homeless human beings each so often i imagine they could do extra effective for themselves after I ignore that it would want to be a psychological challenge that could want to be conserving them lower back. Gender, Sexual decision, Race, faith and Social status/nicely worth recommend not something to me. i'm in an interracial marriage, I easily have a gay son and appreciate all religions. someone is who they're because they elect to be. I easily have accepted that i can't replace each person else yet really improve myself. Peace & Love :)

Answer 4
