Parrot talk

Something I have been noticing lately, that I feel is very likely an indicator of a weak mind, is greetings and farewells.  They are often mindlessly repeated to one another.  For example, if I say "Hi how are you?" and you reply "doing peachy, how about yourself" and I return with "I'm doing peachy".  That is what I am talking about.  Or have you ever been greeted by someone and then you greet them back in the exact same way and you realize it and feel slightly foolish for basically repeating their greeting? It is this that I feel indicates weak mindedness, it shows that the individual is very receptive to subconscious suggestion.  I believe that persons who have a higher propensity towards subconscious suggestion have less of a sense of individualism or lack independent thought/fortitude and are, therefore, a weaker minded person.
For that reason, I try to make a conscious effort to have original, pertinent and thoughtful replies. It grates on my nerves mentally when I hear people great each other like two parrots squawking back and forth.  Think about what you say, think about how you say it, own your words and think your thoughts, don't be weak minded.  Be conscious, intentional and original.  Be you and I'll be me.
