“Strangers in Our Lives”

by TomLaus

Have you ever wondered about the person you bumped in the sidewalk? How about the person beside you when you are riding a jeep? Most of the time we care less about those people and in some cases we do our best to know them. As we go along in the journey of our lives, we meet those people with different personality which known as stranger. We let this stranger pass through our lives which they become part of it. That’s why I classified this stranger in to three categories: someone who becomes a bestfriend, an enemy, and perhaps a soulmate.

            In the first category, we usually meet this type of people along the church, school, and mostly in our community. This people can be our neighbor, classmate, or even our childhood playmates. Having this kind of people we usually get comfortable, easily adapt with, and share our deepest secrets. They are exactly what we are looking for in our lives. Eventhough, we may considered this people as a bestfriend we can’t avoid to have troubles with them.

            In the second category, we usually meet this type of people along the sidewalk, street, and mostly in the social media. This people can be a traitor, basher, or even a hater. Having this kind of people is an exact opposite of our attitude. They are exactly the one who usually disagree our common interest. Eventhough, they contradict us they can be also a good friend.

            In the third category, we usually meet this type of people unexpectedly in the park, in the office, and in some occasion like party. This people can become our close friend, mutual friend, or even an officemate. Having this kind of person can be considered as a companion throughout our lives sharing with the same emotion. They are exactly we are looking for the rest of our lives who becomes our lifetime partner. Eventhough, we may share the same common interest with this kind of person we can’t avoid to have some quarrel with.

            I considered myself as a stranger to others as a bestfriend, an enemy, or perhaps a soulmate. Whoever of these I would be. I’m hoping that people would respect what person I belong and perhaps in the future, as a stranger to them, sometimes, or someday I could help and build a relationship.
