They complained because I don't tell them "good morning". I just don't think it's necessary. I feel the same way about ritualistic prayers. Before any meeting and after any meeting, they always have a prayer. "Would someone like to pray us in/out" is always asked at the beginning and ending of meetings. Someone starts, and then everyone says the prayer. None of this seems sincere. People long ago memorized the Serenity and Lord's Prayer and recite them by rote, the same way they say good morning. It means nothing. "(I wish you a) good morning" is like a military salute, I suppose, a gesture meant to show acknowledgment and respect. Like taking your hat off when you enter a building, or before saying a prayer. All of this are meaningless gestures, akin to virtue signaling. Why is it necessary to acknowledge people when you first see them in the morning?
