Blog Prompt

Think about a stanger you saw today- maybe it's the cashier at Starbucks or a pedestrian who crossed the street. Then write about a day in their life. Their schedule, their emotions, their thoughts, etc. Maybe they happened to see you too.



If I really have to drag this out to 150 words, here's my explanation:
I think human beings, by nature, are selfish creatures. We all tend to live in our own little worlds, with little regard to those around us. When we do think of others, it is often in terms of ourselves (How do I appear to the other person?). Not to say that we never think of anyone but ourselves; it's just rare. And even so, those whom we genuinely consider tend to fall into two groups- those who effect our world on a daily basis (family, friends, etc.) and, as harsh as it sounds, whoever is in the latest, greatest news story. This makes us overlook a much larger group of people. The middlemen- whom we see everyday yet never give a second thought to. Those living a parallel existence completely outside of our own.
