How are you?
A mere three words but have you ever pondered over how beautiful these three words are when they come together in this sequence?
How are you? A question as simple as this holds tremendous power to make you aware of the people who keep you in their thoughts, who care if you are keeping well in life or not and who seek pleasure through the satisfaction of seeing you fine by keeping a check up on you.
These days, in the era dominated by social networking sites like Facebook and Instagram, we are always busy scrolling through our feeds, putting up our smiling faces even in the times when we are bowed down with our sufferings and at times, silently envying, staring at the dreamy and perfect lives that other folks display.
No matter how hectic life gets, we always manage time to surf through social media, but do we ever take out a minute to pause and ask people, how they are doing? Quite a lot of the times - we do not. We fall for their bright posts, not considering that they might be doing the same that sometimes, we do despite the darkness surrounding us.
How are you? Perhaps, you have underestimated the potential of this question all your life. This question can be a small light to someone when consumed entirely by the darkness, assuring that there is someone out there to whom his/her well-being matters. This question can be a source of joy to someone, upon knowing that someone out there remembers him/her and is willing to confirm that there isn't any trouble going on, in his/her life.
How are you? It is not just a question, but a gesture to let people know that they have got someone's back, ultimately becoming the light at the end of the tunnel at times when they are about to quit.
So, don't forget to ask people how they are, whenever you get a chance.
