I say some stranger as if to dismiss but really I'm glad that for a moment I crossed paths with this stranger. What we conversed about, how long we conversed or how I came to capture him I do not know. What I do know is for a period of time he gave me faith in humanity to build connections outside of what we know in an a society where people are becoming evermore technologically isolated and content in their mindless solidarity. And it made me realise people always come and go and too often do we forget and are we told to forget the people who leave our lives outside of death. Whether it is positive or negative the smallest interaction can have the most profound effect. And whether or not we realise these effects or not is something we should consider. Every little moment as brief as it may be has the ability to effect the person we are, whether it be for the day, the year or a for the rest of our lives. In saying that every little momentary engagement we have with others also as the ability to effect someone else, whether it be for the day, the year or the rest of their lives. If we are to achieve happiness in the world around us and consequently within ourselves then we need to take as much control as possible.

"If you think that we can't change he world, it just means that you are not one of those that will" - Jacque Fresco

The more conscious we are the greater our potential. It is about constant assessment and appreciation in the pursuit of happiness I think. And it is for this reason I will forever make a conscious effort remember this man. He is a reminder of the ability of humans to lift my spirit and make me smile.
