My Mother Told Me Never to Talk to Strangers.

You should never talk to strangers. Ever. There is so much to loose by interacting with someone that you dont know. Honestly, anything could happen. Anything from the very best to the very worse. But really, why take the chance? You could loose, you know.

To be fully alive is to be aware of the risks yet make the choices anyways. It is to accept the possiablity that failure may result. It is to recognize that the possiability yet actively gaze past to the opportunity which presents itself. And this is to be done simultaniously with holding your own values and morals in a place which is improved by your choices rather than supressed by them. It is up to noone but ourselves to secure that despite outward stimuli, we maintain not only our own sense of self, but the representation of our self through our own outward actions. If we find ourselves inadaquetly altered by various variables, an ususual challenge presents itself.

It becomes complex as our natural human resistance to change may be the sole culprit of the discomfort. Dramatic changes which alter our state of consciousness, also may shift our perceptions of ourselves, can cause the same off-center feeling. So while it may be our intuition telling us something is wrong for us, it may also just be our human selves getting in the way. We have a knack of doing that. Finding out our own individual truth is the first difficut step followed by a close second. Having the courage to correct what we believe is right can be more heartbreaking than we ever could have preconceived. Every person and siduation effects us differently and up to us to be the ground control. Theoretically it would be easier if we didnt talk to strangers; if we didnt step outside of our boxes. But me, I think that I'll prefer the view.

What about you? Do you talk to strangers?
