I was reading a student's blog and she said, "People often don't mean what they say." I was asking myself if I make this mistake myself.
Take for example, when I was entering the staffroom, a fellow colleague held the door for me, and my immediate response was 'thank you'. So, did I really mean it? Did I really appreciate her kindness of holding the door for me? Or did I say it out of courtesy? I think most probably the latter. So, well, I'm guilty.
That set me thinking how true is it when someone tells his or her other half 'I love you'. Is it out of obligation, or does he or she really mean it? Frankly, sometimes, I feel the word 'love' is too loosely used.
So do you really mean it?
