Falling into "familiarity" in the sense of taking another for granted is easy to do, which is why it can breed contempt. We all have to work hard at keeping respect in mind when communicating with one another so a relationship doesn't break down.
Your 4th photo, with the icicle is amazing. I hope @kus-knee promotes that in his next contest - yours would be a contender for sure!
Thank you for your thought-full comment @countrygirl.
So true.....allowing respect for another person's space.
Another way of looking at the principle would be with Steemians in mind.......ie those who find calling others ...'bro'....'buddy'....'my friend' .....before making their acquaintance.....letting these familiarities take the lead rather than respecting that all things take time......even relationships with colleagues. ^__^
Appreciate your kind words regarding the photograph...good suggestion....perhaps he will.
Wishing you a lovely weekend.
Cheers.
Oh, yes....re Steemians, I agree. That kind of bothers me as well. I try to overlook it as a cultural language translation thing in most cases. But I understand you.
You too have a wonderful weekend.
