Are we strangers or connected

I was running today and covered till 16 km and was planing to complete 26 km today, a man in his sports bicycle slowed down the cycle and asked if I am ok. He was genuinely concerned and I felt that. He offered water which I politely declined as I had the water bottle. He went ahead with his cycling wishing me luck on the rest of my run. I thanked him for his gesture.

Are we complete strangers or are we all connected just waiting for the artificial cover to be removed by initial talks. Even talking to a stranger feels refreshing and brings a new perspective. Sometimes just by looking at a person you feel connected to that person and you would want to talk to him.

There is some signal which gets transferred between two bodies even when they haven’t started talking. That signal helps in starting conversation. Contrary to the older belief and advice given by parents that we should not talk to strangers, we should not be that skeptical towards strangers. Who knows one of those encounter may give you a life long friend
