mystery of the welcome

Human possibilities are unlimited indeed. Just think. I can do whatever I want. I can write to my blog, or not. Plus all the above are far from all that is possible to me. I can do nothing too. Wow, it's hard to put in human words what a giant I feel myself. I can do totally everything.

So, what was my choice in a concrete? What did I do?

This questioned looked so innocently, but the truth gave me a good shake. I was to admit that I ...was begging ... for your feedback.
Woops! When people meet one other on a street, the welcome joins them. That's natural. But in case I would address a passerby by asking him to say Hi to me, what do you think? What the reply would come?
Is it not strange? Why?
