Say, as a thought excercise, that you, on a cool, crisp morning, wish to make a telephone call to someone on the other side of the globe. Checking the time, you notice it's 7 pm, there.
This begs the question: Do you say, "Good morning" or "Good evening"? While one could, theoretically just say "hello," that is in bad form. While the above seems a rather stupid question to most, it is actually of psychological interest. It could, perhaps be reduced to a facet of politeness: do you think of yourself, and say good morning? Or do you think of them, and say good evening? It could be a telling sign of whether someone focuses on themselves much, hinting to more deeply-seated problems. Or, it could be entirely determined by culture: some cultures might imagine themselves seated in the home of the target culture, while others might imagine the opposite: the target caller mystically transported to them. Bzzrt. Wrong. Since you're wishing them something, you may as well wish them something they could use: what use have they for a good morning in the evening? Score one for RTQP! |
