Salutations I could do away with: How are you doing? What if Im not well? Do you desire to hear tales of my latest ailment? Do you have time for a complete analysis? Perhaps Im angry or upset, should I ruin your otherwise perfectly non-hostile greeting with my grump? Run my abrasive sandpaper attitude along your polished exterior mood? Of course not, but to say, Fine is to lie. Perhaps being forced into false testament has altered my status to reflect my new onset aggravation. Should I change my answer once given as a result? Im growing more upset. sounds quite intimidating. Contrarily I may be well, but the context of my well-being might be none of your concern. o_O Better always requires an explanation, which slows your progress to a halt. What if youre late to a meeting? What if you have to pee? And should the historical medical details of your life suddenly become public knowledge? There is no good answer, no correct response other than the default lie, Im fine, thanks. The lesser of two evils perhaps. I suggest, Hey. Its simple and provides the same convertible springboard as the other, if conversation is your pursuit. I am fine today, however, so on this rare occasion I remain honest in my reply. :)
