I literally paid my way home from work today as the first ride was from downtown out to near Windsor and Mopac and the second ride was one my way starting at Mesa and Spicewood Springs going all the way to Anderson Mill and Parmer.
Had an interesting conversation with a gentleman that had somewhat similar free time experiences as a kid, to those that I had growing up. I began thinking about all of the different "worlds" that we all come in contact with in our daily lives. Whole lifetimes of experiences right in front of us and we have know idea of the knowledge, achievements, thrills and heartbreaks that are only inches from us. Even in the most in-depth conversations that may occur in passing, we are only exposed to these other worlds for a few moments. Perhaps we will have the privilege of gaining some small piece of knowledge or experience from their world. Perhaps it will be something that changes our lives for the better. Perhaps it will be something that allows us to make better decisions. Regardless, the interaction does add information to the overall database in our mind and therefore modifies who we are even if it is a microscopic modification.
