The Bible tells us to live in harmony with one another (Rom. 12:16), accept one another (Rom. 15:7), greet one another (Rom. 16:16), serve one another (Gal. 5:13) and many more one anothers.
By asking questions, we show the people we are interested in them. As Dale Carnegie famously said,
“You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.”
