Have a look at the contact lists in your Windows Live Messenger or Yahoo Messenger or whatever. Or have a look at your friends list in Friendster. Take a look deeper into their profiles (without spying, that is). Then think for a second: is it possible that your friends and contacts are more than meets their profiles?
Yes. But not in a personal point of view, that is. What I'm saying is, that friend you are looking at might know someone whom you have known but forgotten. Your classmate might have known your ex-girlfriend since primary school. Your former schoolmate might have a relative who's going to elope with a relative of yours. Your teammate in a sports club might be someone whom you knew back in kindergarten but lost contact as time went by. Your brother's friend might be playing in a football club on a regular basis.
We all are intertwined in a grand network of humanity. Once you forge a friendship with someone, you have created a bridge between you and your friend in the network. That bridge between you and your friend links both of you together to those whom you know and whom your friend knows. The more bridges you build, the more connection between us fellow humankind will be created. When you forge a friendship with someone, it's like you forged an acquaintance with the world.
Build a bridge, start by forging friendships with more people, and you'll be one step nearer to knowing the people of the world.
