It's not what I am used to as it's more relaxed elsewhere. Anyway if someone wants to compliment me, by all means, I'll enjoy it while it still happens. I'll be very sad if spontaneity goes away though because if and when it does I might as well move away to the boonies to get away the downsides of urban society. Far less traffic, also.

Sadly it's the way society is going.

They want everyone to be scared of each other and just watch each other through a screen.

They don't want us to trust each other enough to see what they're doing to us all behind the scenes.

And "they" is the political leaders and big business.
