Sometimes a greeting, a good morning, a hello connects a person to life and increases the joy of life. It eliminates the coldness, disconnection and resentment between people. It results in sincere relationships between people. On the road, at work, in the real and virtual world, on the phone, we first say "Hello" or "Hello" to the person in front of us. I mostly use Hello. All these years, I also never thought about what the real meaning of the word “Hello” is. What did it actually mean? When I did some research recently, here's what I found...
Hello: It's a greeting word meaning "Good Morning" or "Welcome". The origin of the word is Persian. When we divide the word into two, it consists of the words "mar" and "heba". “Mar” means snake in Persian, and “Heba” means to waste, to destroy. So its real meaning is "let's kill the snake between us, let's destroy our enmity". In Persian, its general meaning is "I will not harm you." Thus, every person who says hello shows you his good will.
"Hello"...that is, "I will not harm you". The word hello contains consent and trust. There is trust and loyalty. There is being able to make the other person feel sincerity, sincerity and trust..
So what does Salam mean? It means peace, comfort, salvation, etc. Giving greeting is the most beautiful respect to be shown to someone. Greeting is when a person wishes goodness, health and well-being to the person he encounters, and makes good wishes. One of the good habits in people is that they greet each other and receive them. Greeting. It eliminates bad habits such as anger and resentment, hatred and grudges, etc., which cause hostility between people. It ensures the emergence of mutual love and respect. The words and actions of greeting are different in every religion and society. According to the religious beliefs and moral structure of each society. The words they use to give and receive greetings and the hand, head and other body movements they make are different.
The greeting we give to any person is an indication that we value him and love him. By greeting that person, we send a message that we actually love and value that person. We will give it. For this reason, that person starts to have good feelings towards us and a situation of mutual love and respect arises.
Unfortunately, today, such a situation has arisen that people who live in the same apartment and greet each other every day for years but never exchange a word. There are people who do not ask about each other's well-being. Such a greeting is nothing more than an insincere, dry greeting. Another purpose of greeting is to ask people about their situation, learn about their problems, if any, and try to help them as much as possible. Otherwise, what would happen if people greeted each other every day without even knowing each other's names?
When I say hello, I always think of the fisherman of these lands, Cevat Şakir, the Fisherman of Halicarnassus, who starts every word by saying "Hello". Because even when he was leaving this world, he turned to the window of the room where he was sleeping in the Hello Apartment in Hatay and said, “I think I am a traveler. I will say hello to the world and leave. The scent of flowers reaches my nose. Open, open the windows. I want to see the sun for the last time. I want to see freedom for the last time. He is so in love with a hello that he says "Hello children, hello world, hello..."... Sabahattin Eyüboğlu said, "And maybe that's why what clears the fog and haze of the world?" Poyraz is one, Fisherman's hello is two..." he says. The fisherman explained why when he said "Hello": "First of all, there is a manly way to say hello... Moreover, it has a beautiful meaning." 'Relax. It means 'no harm will come to you from me'. Next, we should not take our minds off our work. Will we say 'Morning sheriffs', 'Evening sheriffs', or 'Goodbye'? There is no need to think or occupy our minds. Instead, I'll just say hello, that's all... There's one more thing. The word hello, when written in ancient letters, looks like a sail. Maybe this also has an effect on my liking hello..." Then, in another source, there is a little story about hello told by Balıkçı: "In very old times, two travelers who met on a long road, used their bows to show that they did not intend to harm each other and did not have any hostile intentions." He stretches and shoots his arrows far away and burns 'Mir heba' They used to say, 'Let my reading go to waste'. Over time, this word entered our spoken language as 'Hello'..."
If we want to have a good communication with the people around us, become friends with them, and show the love we feel for them, we should never stop greeting them. Even if we are resentful or angry towards someone, we should definitely respond to the greeting they give; For every step taken towards us, we must take ten steps towards them. We should not forget that greetings increase the conversation, love and respect between people.
Just as every beginning has an end, we have come to the end of my article. As the poet said, I don't consider this as a separation, after a meeting, for a new meeting, to say goodbye to HELLO...
