Congenial Geniality

Congenial: adjective. 1. having the same taste, habits, or temperament; 2. pleasant, sociable; 3. agreeable, or suited to one's needs or nature.

Genial: adjective. 1. cheerful and friendly; 2. warm or mild, as in climate.

These words are obviously related to each other and the word Genius.

They are synonymous. And there are many congenial synonyms for genial:

Affable, amiable, cordial, easygoing, friendly, warm

This is what is missing from our society! Geniality. People have forgotten their manners and thrown pleasantries out the window.
