Meeting the World on Equal Terms

We are only going to meet so many people, we are only going to befriend so many people like us, we are only going to have so many lovers, so many dates, so many soul-mates, doesn't this make you want to try to connect on a deeper level with those you care about? You are only going to get so many chances, why would we want it any other way?

Each new person, never seen before, never to be seen again, so we are anonymous, yet all familiar, all so much the same, don't you see? Don't you feel it sometimes, the way things return, in new people, it's all symbolic, particular people are just embodied qualities, that forever do repeat - so expand yourself, befriend the world....

So let's think of ways to get closer to people, any suggestions? And new ways to meet people?

Findings of Research:

---------------------------------------------------------- check:

- stay close with family if at all possible

- choose open and respectful people for cost benefit maximization.

- waking up early in the morning to enjoy the entire day with neat buddhist balance.  

- approach people without fail, with a cheerful greeting.

- to be ruthlessly open and force yourself to experience life in saying 'YES' to all that gives itself to personal circumstnace, to taste, as it were, the dalliance of light herself on each pore of skin, at all times.
