Is everyone really "fine"?

Do we all wear masks?
While we go about our daily lives, how many people that we pass are walking around with a smile on their face when they are really hurting inside?
How easy is it to not realize that someone else is in pain?
When we ask someone, "How are you?" is it just a passing pleasantry, or do we really want to know?
When someone asks us how we are, how often do we really tell the truth instead of giving the expected answer, "Fine."
How many people do we see every day with whom our relationships are barely superficial?
Why is that?
Are we so wrapped up in ourselves that we don't notice the people around us?
Do we not really care about each other?
Or do we just not want to get involved?
