i was on a bus ride between cities when i noticed a stranger sitting next to me. we were both just minding our own business, but after a few moments, he started asking me questions about my life. we ended up having a fascinating conversation and he told me some funny stories that made me laugh. he shared his thoughts on life, spirituality and philosophy and by the end of the 45-minute journey, i felt like i had made a new friend. when we got to my stop, i thanked him for sharing his insights and wished him well for his onward journey.
