Brief Encounters I really believe that not everything need to last forever to be meaningful. That sometimes a simple smile, glance or conversation can be enough. Why ruin those nice and brief relationships with the necessity of sustain them over time? For instance, yesterday I used the public transportation. I was really thirsty, so I wanted to buy a mineral water. I looked for money but I did not have enough with me at that time. The woman who was sitting by my side, witnessed the whole scene, smiled at me and paid to the seller. Thanks, I said. Then, thanks to the confidence that born between two people when they both know that they only are going to see each other one time in the their lives, that is not going to be a second meet. We started a long and nice talk. She told me about her life, her dreams and her plans for the future, and I in turn told her about mine. I did it, because precisely there lie the magic of those talks with strangers, from know that you have the freedom to lower your guard for a moment and expose your soul and your feelings totally, without fear to futures betrayals nor deceptions, typicals of the human relationships. In those encounters everything is more simple and flows easily, because both sides know that there will be no a second encounter. So is not necessary protect yourself from the other person because the complicity only is going to last until you arrive to your destiny. There is not expectations. There will no calls to make nor birthdays to celebrate. _________________________ This song is suitable for text https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNOdFQ-BN7o

Exactly, is a kind of confession, thanks. I think that these encounters are, so to speak, "Zen" because they happen in the present moment, there is no past that predetermines your behavior nor a future. All is reduced to that brief moment, the relationship begins and ends there. As Buddha said "suffering comes from desire" and in this case, as there are no expectations, you are free to give anything of yourself without expecting anything in exchange. You are free because there is no fear of disappointment in case that the relationship doesn't develop as you had imagined or if the other person doesn't react as you had expected.

I totally agree with you and it seems strange that you look at things exactly the way I look at them. I always say that it is the easiest to talk with strangers because you can be honest with them and they won't take a part of you and use against you. It is like a little confession - telling your story, getting it off your chest and then just leaving without any thoughts about coming back. What would destroy this feeling of lightness is trying to attach yourself to a stranger. Indeed a very nice entry, Bárbara!

Thanks ♥W♥ :)
