I see an interesting person, as most do throughout their day, week, or month.
It could be someone I see once and will never pass by again or someone I see often in my weekly routine and I wonder about them.
In the few moments while I wait in line, or for the traffic light to change, or in any of the other idle time I have moving through my day, I wonder:
What brought this person here?
What turn of events and choices throughout their life has put them in this spot right now? (This spot being their job, the car they drive, the way they act, their dress, their demeanor, the time of day, etc, etc.)
What do they do in their free time? Do they have plans they’re actively following to improve upon their situation? Are they single? Do they have kids? Have they resigned to the circumstances they are now in?
Why are they here? Now? What influence could they knowingly or unknowingly have on the lives of those they come in contact with during their life?
I meet many interesting people nearly everyday. Everyone has a story, often times you might never have guessed the real story of their life and the turn of events that has brought them here right now.
Those that I don’t get to talk to for various reasons I wonder about…at least for a few moments until I get going back with my life and the things I’m doing to get me where I’m going.
Do you ever wonder?
