The Helping Hand

I'm sitting on a bus with people I've never met and probably never will. And yet, I'll see them again, I'll pass them on the street and won't bat an eye. Is that a bad thing? Is keeping estranged to the stranger opposite me what we should all do?The reason I ask is because at times we all feel alone, but what's stopping us from reaching out to someone we don't know and evading this feeling of neglect? This sense of loneliness that will hang over us at one time or another? Now whoever reads this question could be in two minds about that, because what if, just what if when you reach out the hand that grabs it is one you really shouldn't have. They should've let go and let them fall like they were supposed to.
