Passive Bonds.

We, humans form opinions, quickly. So quickly that sometimes, many times, we just don't give people and things a fair chance. Not even a chance, let alone give one that's fair. We form our opinions and construct an idea of how a person would be based on how that person reacts to one or two situations.

Hello there, I am the Earthian.

Even if we do find someone interesting, we don't usually take the proper route to know about that someone. Instead we take the worst of routes, going and asking about that someone to everyone else but that someone. We usually start with the mutual friends, working our way up from the least close mutual friend to the closest.
It feels stealthy, right? To find information about how a certain someone is without ever running into that someone and talking to that someone himself?
If you read the above paragraph once again though, you'll realize that the word "interesting" had just lost all of its meaning.
The best person to ask about a certain somone whom we find interesting is that someone himself. Not because he'll show his best side, but because you can form your own, absolutely original and completely fair and unbiased opinion about him. An opinion that you can believe.

We live in a world where we are more comfortable with being passively close to someone rather than being actively close. We love having to not do the work to actually form a bond with someone. Someone that we find interesting. Just not interesting enough to go ahead and say hello, apparently.

Lots of love, peace.
