The idea behind World Hello Day is that if you are saying “Hello” to someone you won’t be fighting them. World Peace is the goal. It was begun in 1973 by Brian and Michael McCormack during the war between Egypt and Israel.
Of course, it might help to learn how to say hello in what ever language is native to the country you are in at the time, other wise you might not know exactly what you are saying to them. It makes sense. If you are friendly enough to say hello to someone it is likely they will say hello in return. If you are busy greeting each other and getting to know each other, it is unlikely you are going to try and harm them or they you.
The days requests that you say hello to at least ten people. I am assuming here they mean ten people you don’t already know since large family group could easily accomplish that in ten minutes. That said, I know some families who haven’t said hello to each other in years.
It really isn’t all that hard to do. Just say hello and maybe you’ll get a hello in return. You’ll feel better for it and so will the recipient. Obviously when someone feels better about themselves they are not as likely to want to hurt someone else.
And if you feel intimidated by saying hello, you can give a wave, it means the same thing. Just make sure you aren’t holding a gun or knife in the hand you are waving with!
How to celebrate – Say hello to ten people. (Animals don’t count) Smile when you say hello, it makes it warmer and more genuine. If someone says hello to you first, it doesn’t count on your saying hello, you must initiate it yourself.
