Eye to Eye

Interestingly, on a bright sunny day, we are less likely to be kind to others and sometimes forget our common courtesies. Perhaps the answer is obvious to you, but it is because more of us are wearing sunglasses, we make less eye contact. In London, eye contact may not be that common anyway, but just imagine how much worse it gets when everyone is covering their eyes.

Catching someone’s eye is one of the surest ways to get them to see you as a human being and by extension being courteous and kind. It is sometimes good to remember if you meet someone that may not be having such a good day. Try and catch their eye, even perhaps smile. This may just calm them down or even make their bad day a little better. Perhaps the results are better than reciprocating their negativity.
