描述

• Introduction
  I am the person sitting on the park bench that you just walked by. I am the stranger on the bus, two seats over. I am behind you in line at the grocery store. You just drove by me at the light. I'm that hiker you passed two miles back on the trail.
  
  Modern life tends to be busy and rushed. We don't take the time to truly understand one another, let alone look into each other's eyes. Reading online journals taught me to "stop and talk," in a sense, with people who I would have otherwise overlooked. For me, it became an exercise in compassion and deeper understanding. I learned to break down my stereotypes and to be slower to judge. After a while, I felt the need to give something back to this community that I had learned so much from, so I started my own online discussion groups, in hopes that others would find something of value in my thoughts and experiences. Online talking and open discussions are the chance to look a total stranger in the eyes and understand.
  
  I feel that we all could stand to learn a great deal from the thoughts and experiences of our fellow humans. Mine is just another voice, seeking understanding and meaning.
