I can't tell you how many times I watch this video. The only obvious explanation for it is that we're so dependent on the technology that we're enslaved to that every once in a while I have to remind myself that though I am in this world I don't have to be of this world... If that makes sense. We don't have to go along with what everybody else is doing just because that's the common trend. If you want to be the one who starts a conversation on a train with a group of strangers or in a lecture waiting for the lecturer or just in an elevator with the other residents in your building just DO IT. I tell you the truth, by nature I can't stand being stuck in meaningless conversations with people I DO NOT KNOW. But there is something so liberating in just leaving your phone behind and allowing yourself to engage with all sorts of people. On my first day of doing so I meant the sweetest person. I showed her this video and explained to her that had it not been for it I would not have met her and she said. Meeting you today has told me that there is hope and it's going to be okay. We don't know who we'll meet and what impact we'll have. Just try... that's all we can do in the beginning (:
