Stranger; Lesson or Life?

"Strangers are safe, they are non-judgmental and they care for the present moment", I have heard these statements most of the time and even experienced once. They are safe but not every stranger is safe.!

There are sayings like we should not talk to any stranger in our long journeys, should not eat or drink what they offer and if possible, not to be involved in any activity with them. Does this sound better? Or does this prevent us to trust anyone and gain their trust back? If I am trusting someone, there is a possibility that they will trust me back and if I am doubting someone, they will doubt me back. If my parents are asking me not to do any of the above things, so does other parents as well, isn't it? So directly or indirectly, we are creating a gap, a misconception about the uncertain reality based on our beliefs, which are not fixed by our experiences, but I guess due to manipulations, word of mouths, or social media. Exceptions are always there but sometimes concluding something which is uncertain is not the right thing.!

What happens when we meet strangers?

Who are strangers? Anyone who doesn't have any idea about one's existence, past, present, or future. Strangers are like a newly born baby, who doesn't have any idea about anyone around, but with times they understand and fit in the environment.


First of all, we try not to open ourselves to any strangers and we are so formal like we are in an interview, and all we want is when would this uninterested interview end!! But for some, having a convo with a stranger is fun, they love to explore more and have good-relation. Or some want to go slow, trying to figure out the intentions of the stranger first, and then if they fit into that environment, they are willing to explore more. But if a stranger is a like-minded person like you, then you don't need any second thought whether or not to explore yourself more or to open yourself up. You automatically feel similar vibes and a strong connection that is generating the vibes within you. 
"Even a stranger whom you meet a second ago can be the most important person of your life and any friend who is together with you can turn to nothing." JUST BECAUSE OF THE VIBES OR THE LIKE-MINDEDNESS. 

Durations don't matter if you are into the negative vibes or unmatching vibes. A relationship of years can come to an end just because of unmatching vibes, but a relationship of days can become a beautiful relationship just because of the like-mindedness and matching vibes. 

Are strangers safe?

Safeness depends on our definition of safety. What is safety for us? Privacy of information? Harmfulness? Or? If we go by the privacy of information, mostly strangers are safe just because they don't have any idea of one's existence. Plus, strangers don't care what one is doing in their life until and unless it's not harmful to them and others. 

If we go by the harmfulness, it is quite rare that a stranger turns out to be harmful, until and unless they have any rage for you. Sometimes a stranger is much more helpful than any other person whom we know for years

But I don't mean to say we all should go and start sharing things with strangers or every stranger is safe because it all depends on one's beliefs and their vibes. If you find a matching vibe, the person can be trustworthy, but as always there are exceptions.
