We are all used to communicating in our little world, which often turns out to be isolated in a certain place and stratum of society. Old friends, old jobs, habitual resting places. We are mired on one side of the street and are afraid to cross to the other. What if you take a chance? What if you try to change your usual life for something else? Unknown, interesting and dangerous? Start talking to strangers and strangers! It will turn your life around. Acquaintance is a meeting of different understandings of the world, or even completely different worlds.

“Throughout our life's journey, many other people cross it, and ninety-nine out of a hundred do not leave a trace in our life, no more memories than a passing breeze. But the hundredth meeting in a row can turn our life around, like a hurricane, sweep it away from its usual path, after which it will flow in a completely different direction "Cornell Woolrich
