Thank you for dropping by @creatr.
So sorry to hear this principle brings you sadness.
For perhaps a different way of thinking of it......one may appreciate being reminded of this principle in order to give space for a relationship to grow ....letting genuine respect lead a friendship rather than words without meaning lead.
bleujay hoped a premium Steemit example would come to mind.......where some think....calling others 'buddy' ....'bro'.....'friend' without having made their acquaintance online or otherwise.
These are familiarities that are meaningless and unnecessary.
So glad to hear you have had opportunity to see these marvelous sights for yourself.
Thank you for your kind compliment regarding the photographs.
Cheers.
