"How are you doing?"

When others ask us as they sometimes pass by us at work or school, "How are you doing?" what's our usual response?

"Fine. Thanks."

Even if we're struggling, is this what we typically say?

What should a spiritual person say?

Well, we should realize that most do NOT expect an honest answer.

They don't want to hear about our troubles.

Neither do they want us to say, "I'm blessed beyond measure! I'm having a fantastic week! In fact, the last several weeks have been awesome! Thank you for asking."

People don't want to hear your sorrows or your successes, do they?

So, what can a spiritual person say?

How about this to try?

"I'm growing so I can be a better person. How are things with you?"

Your thoughts?
