Isn’t amazing
that we can meet and
know the deepest thoughts
and fears
and loves
and beauty
of someone across the world
without ever knowing their true name
their job
or even what they look like
Their facial features
become the appearance of their page
Their voice
becomes the words and writer’s style
The judgement and stereotypes
melt away
and turn into reading between the lines
to truly judge if they are worthy
of clicking the follow button
I ask
I wonder
I ponder
Which is better?
Face to face
we not might give them the time of day
but
looking at a screen
we give them our deepest selves
but hide what everyone sees.
So true… is that for the best or should we also engage the “strangers” around us.
