Why Our Paths Cross?

There are countless people I meet daily.

I walk pass them, and smile or nod my head, or just greet them "hello". I don't know their names. I only know that they are in my workplace for a purpose, and that purpose, of great probability is not pleasant.

All of us have the opportunity to meet different people daily. The only difference is whether we slow down to get to know them that tad bit better. To help them with that little something. As they stare blankly at the many words in front of the directory, wouldn't a nice warm voice help that bit more?

Sometimes, I walk past someone and that person's smile seem more like a smile, more like a smile that encompasses, "how are you, I hope you are well", there are those who smile, as though they want to eat you, yet, there are those who smile as though they want to pick you up, and of course, there are times when you wonder if that smile means that there's vege stuck between your teeth!

Whatever it is, a good connection between people is hard to achieve. When that happens, friends are found. Then a deeper connection goes on, and buddies are bred. Thereafter, if it goes another notch, who knows? Paths are crossed, friendships are created - by beginning with that smile, that nod, and the many words that come after.

That's one of the privileges we have as humans - the ability to connect cognitively....emotionally...
