We seem to be drawn to certain people in our lives for whatever the reason may be. We willingly take the time to get to know them, and sometimes we become the greatest friends that could ever be. We make room in our busy lives for them and the friendship that’s created. We sometimes spend lots of time with them, and we learn of each other’s imperfections, and it’s ok. We tolerate the differences without question. We recognize each others strengths and weaknesses and still continue to love them from deep within our hearts. We truly enjoy their company and when we haven’t seen or spoken with them for a while, we miss them. It seems like they become a part of who we are, or at least a part of our existence.
With this being so, why is it that upon meeting a stranger, we seem to notice their imperfections? We can often be critical, and judgmental. Why is it that we don’t open our hearts as if EACH of them were our lifelong friends who we love despite our differences? Why is it that we don’t think of them as being one with us? Is there a door that they have to open first? There shouldn’t be. I will consciously strive to see the beauty in everyone I meet knowing that they have touched my path for a reason. We all have a light that shines within…
Absolutely true yet it’s strange that then you will meet a stranger and there’s this instant connection which is seeing the person and letting go of every preconceived idea you may have about the stranger.
yes! Wouldn’t it be nice if we’d feel that instant connection with everyone? It’s like you’ve known them all your life. Thanks for your comment
