experimental friend.

sept 22. 1100hrs

eversince i discovered the principle to love everyone like it will not hurt anyone, i have never thought the idiom "experimental friend" would be invented. but it is a discovery now, to me.

i remembered i was admiring patch adams for that he did, harvesting smiles and generous friendships. just before being that patch adams, he was experimenting. he said hi-es to strangers, he waved to a bunch of kids in some random school buses, and watched for the responses.

i understand now that, people may have distance, unclosed gaps between you and him/her/them. when the willingness to understand them is big enough, we can start experimenting. start with hello, guess that will not pay you a sweat. i did some initial experiments, but me is bad in maintaining the 'lab.' so, some of my experiments were stuck in the moment and still continuing only the hi-es.

yet, this friend, i have known for 3 years, has been experimenting and putting me as the lab rat, without my informed consent. but truly i am getting along very well with the professor who runs the lab. i understand that to understand, people need to reveal bit by bit of secrets. because what makes clashes, misunderstandings, underestimatings, awful-feelings is the reluctance to uncover the links which usually are the point of thing can be understood.

just be free to try, see how the fruits come after all.
