“(Beware of Strangers)
As children, we are taught to beware of strangers, to refrain from approaching them.
As we grow older, we learn that no one is stranger than those we thought we’d known all our lives.
We learn that a stranger may carry more empathy, and understand us more deeply, and that affections from a stranger may be more sincere.
So, I ask: Can humanity and strangeness be synonymous? Could we say, 'I am a stranger; therefore I am'?
Can we truly feel alive without strange things, strange encounters, without strangers reminding us that our hearts and minds are still beating?
They teach us to avoid strangers, yet life teaches us that human awareness can only be born of the dagger of strangeness… that life is tasteless without mingling with strangers… that familiarity is opposed to life!
Thus, I loudly declare: A stranger I was born; a stranger I wish to remain! And I ask that you issue my death certificate the day I become familiar.
