I enjoy talking to people even when I don’t know who they are. Someone said that strangers are friends you haven’t met yet, or something like that. It is interesting to observe, and figuratively speaking, read a person through simple conversations. We all have a story and each of our stories are or could be interconnected somehow. As you read this our individual stories crossed paths. Paying the cashier at the grocery store and making a simple gesture of acknowledging that person joins the stories together. A simple ‘good morning’ can make a great difference in the life of a person.
Some people is unconsciously waiting for someone to acknowledge their existence beyond a societal function. Some people is hungry for a kind word to remind them of their value as human beings. Someone out there, unknown or known to you, is expecting for you to get your face away from the cellphone for an opportunity to be really social and to expand your network. Talk to people. Listen to people. Give yourself the chance of an interesting conversation and the possibility of new friendships, or simply the opportunity to relate humanly again.
People build walls to protect themselves from being hurt. The scars from the past pushed them to not trust people, to not let them in. People live hurt and hiding behind those walls. However, with time those walls they built begin to suffocate them, to asphyxiate the soul. Kind words and kind gestures can make a person feel alive again inside. A conversation can be that trojan horse that goes inside the walls, but not for destruction, but for healing. Kindness restores broken lives.
Relate Humanly
