Aloha is more than an Hawaiian greeting. Aloha is a feeling and a genuine expression of compassion and love. The best part of Aloha is that the more you express your love and compassion for yourself and those around you, the more it comes back to you. That is why it has become such a part of everyday language in Hawaii. People say it when greeting or saying goodbye to perpetuate the feeling so that the Aloha Spirit continues throughout the day.
