People are fickle. Why do we do the things we do? You walk by someone you know, you probably know their name, but maybe you don't know that person well, and you make the conscious decision to avoid contact with them. You avert your eyes. You pretend you don't see them. You focus on something else. You check your phone. It's easier to avoid talking to them than to jeopardize some sort of imagined comfort. Is a simple "hello" really such an inconvenience?
I'm guilty of this. But so is everyone else who passes me by. This isn't meant to be a profound statement or some sort of critical judgment. Just an observation.
