Strangers
Admiration and familiarity are strangers.
I probably get strangers coming up to me two or three times a week to just say something nice. I get more than my share of compliments as I walk through my daily life. I'm not having to show off or make a point about how good I am at doing something. I think I've always kind of been that way.
It's also selfish because it makes you feel good when you help others. I've been helped by acts of kindness from strangers. That's why we're here, after all, to help others.
If two people believe in the same story, they might be thousands of miles apart and total strangers, but they still have a sense they can trust each other.
My fellow Americans, we are and always will be a nation of immigrants. We were strangers once, too.
Sometimes you have to get to know someone really well to realize you're really strangers.
