Meeting a stranger can be totally fleeting and meaningless, for example, unless you enter the individualโs world by finding out at least one thing that is meaningful to his or her life and exchange at lest one genuine feeling. Tuning in to others is a circular flow: you send yourself out toward people; you receive them as they respond to you.
