It's nice talking to them, because they can't judge you at all and there's really no reason for you to dislike someone who you don't know anything about. Getting to know people you don't know as opposed to people you do know differs in the sense that you are creating this friendship with this stranger on your own. There are no unconscious judgments made based on what others have said about this stranger because the person is a stranger! Why is it so easy, though? They're like blank slates. It can be as little as someone giving us an opinion on a pair of shoes at the store, and we appreciate the company they provide us for that short amount of time. And it can develop into this lasting friendship. Meeting a stranger is like a new opportunity, someone who lets us spill out our fears and secrets, and they help us understand things about us that we didn't even realize on our own. You don't feel regretful or sorry for saying so much to them, because the stranger is similar to you in this case. Sometimes it is nice to get away, and meet new people and have these kinds of people to keep you company.<br /><br /> That completely went off the topic you were talking about but oh well. Going back to what you were saying, it's always easier to do nice things for strangers. In addition, it's very rewarding doing something nice to someone you don't know. The more anonymous the deed is, the humbler the person ends up to be. Something as little as keeping them company on a short flight or like the examples you mention can indeed mean so much more than you think to someone. <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ArlscD4MOQAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232501043886016712.post-7748984034494291312011-04-24T23:29:04.506-04:002011-04-24T23:29:04.506-04:00That is so true.
