Strangers are not danger!

Before judging and bashing out on me. Listen to me.

So the thing is, in recent time, I have been interacting and meeting a lot of new folks. For me, they all are stranger; for them, I am a stranger. Still, the way we have been interacting has made me realised one thing: humanity is still alive and active.

Now, I get it. There are bad people as well, and as the legend Shakespeare said: "Hell is empty, and all the devils are here." So maybe, we all are the devils or worse. But that alone is not the whole truth. There is way more goodness alive.

There are good people; then there are just people.

For this concept. Take Frankenstein's Creature as an example. To the world, he is a heinous monster. But he is not! Why? Because we have listened to his perspective as well. Same is the condition with us human beings. We judge others quite early. What if in their mind, they have made the right decision? What if in their mind thre action was justified?

But maybe that is where we are making a mistake. We assume; we judge. And we think that understanding someone means agreeing with them.

However, it does not work this way.

Because both of the strangers has no history at all together. They do not owe each other anything. Even the basic introduction is not there. Yet sometimes, depending on the situation, these very strangers can become something we call: best friends.

Sometimes, all it demands is one conversation.

You talk to someone you have never met before, and suddenly realiss that you both share the same stupidity level - single brain cell. And that too is utilized in turns.

Then there is another combining force i.e. anime.

It may vary feom people to people. But for me, it is actually a bestie call out. Because, anime is my region is named as "Japanese Cartoons". I never debate about this perspective, because they will never understand the worth.

And today, I found one in a million piece. A guy who has interest in anime. What came next is pretty simple. I was carrying him to his destination, and rather than going there. We went to the Quetta hotel, spent like two-hours there. Talked about anime. And the funniest thing is: I did all this being an introvert. This meeting with strangers because of nline taxi service is actually changing me a lot. I have become good with conversations.

Enough with personal story. And back to the not-so-necessary-yapping.

The lesson is simple as well. Of course not everyone is trustworthy or good. Trust, being a most expensive thing, should not be handed out like a free Wi-Fi, because that too never works. I have never seen a free Wi-Fi works on my phone, so I can use that as an example. Lol! There are people who will taie advantage of you. And I say let them NOT! Be open minded, but do not be a tissue paper.

And maybe there is one more lesson in all of this, especially for adults.

Let the kid go wild. Yes, we cannot protect children from every stranger, every awkward conversation or every bad experience. At some point, you have to let them go outside, meet people, make friends, get embarrassed, make mistakes. Let them deliver a story starting with: "You would not believe what happened today."

Teach them boundaries. Because these are must. But do not confine them in a castle built around protection. Just be cautious, but do not teach them fear.

“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.” - Eden Ahbez

Now, this is where we leave everything to the reader's interpretation. Because too many lessons, does not go handy.
