Human relationships

Have you ever wonder about the stranger that was in close proximity in your life at some parts of your life? He or she could be anyone, the person who share your seat on the bus, the faceless person in front of you in the queue or even that fella waiting patiently for someone else.

Sometimes, i do give a random thought about these people. If i just strike up a conversation with them, can't i say that there could be a chance that he or she could be an acquaintance or maybe even a friend? But no... Most of them, we just let the stranger be yet another NPC in our life. All that you recall of them now is that nudge in the shoulder when he gets up to alight or just an expressionless back walking farther and farther on, disappearing down the street.

If we just step out of our comfort zone a tad and reach out to the stranger, would he or she respond, be it positive or negative? I once describe individuals in this world as mere essence of dynamics, all interacting each in their unique and random form. Today i would like to adopt another model. That everyone are like pieces of celestial bodies in random orbit, each pursuing their own agenda and following their own orbital paths. If you were able to take a vast snapshot of the universe today, i dare say that you could be paid very handsomely.

That everyone happens to be at certain positions and travelling in that net direction...this shall never be replicated in eons to come. How long will it take before a particular meteor pass close to say, Earth in that unique trajectory? A very long time... But do we seize the day and pull the meteor towards ourselves? And lock it forever in a prefixed orbit so that it will revolve around us? I'm not sure which is better.

On one hand i would much like my friends to stay at my side and perhaps even raise their glasses in my honour at my wedding night. On the other, if they have other agendas and plans to pursue, wouldn't it seem to be a pointless thing to hold everything together when things are always done for the sake of doing for that matter? I'm not sure... But one thing i'm certain about is, i'm not quite prepared to let go if the day does arrive. What do i do? Continue on my life with a tinge of regret or fight it off at all costs? Perhaps the answer is within me and i shall know it when the time arrives if it ever does, that is...
