Talking to strangers

I looked at an English show today regarding surviving big city life.
One part was an experiment to see whether conversations could be struck up with total strangers in a mall.There was usually a hurried getaway.But one man had an interesting conversation,referring the situation back to India,wherein he said it was quite normal for others to ask to read the part of the newspaper that you may not be using at the time.He was commenting to the presenter that sat plonk down beside him to read the same newspaper in the stranger's hands.A total lack of success was usually the result.But I remembered when I was in Dunedin in the South Island of New Zealand,feeling that everyone passing did seem like a total genius,in that they all seemed to find something interesting to say to me.Unlike many who do seem also to break the ice in Auckland New Zealand, the comments were all devoid of smart alec messages.Would Genius be the word for the lovely strangers? Or was it love of people, or was it me?I hear now that people from Auckland get not so pleasant remarks thrown at them in the South.I don't know, have not been there for some time,but Southerners who make their way to Auckland still seem to possess that magic?I personally think that some may just attract the negative energies.Do they even have a face that would attract a welcoming word?
Later, this show had a person lay as if hurt,on a pavement.In the big city London, very few people even took a look.But in the countryside, almost every passerby stopped to see if they could help.I remembered back to my visit to China when Mao Tse tung was still alive.at the trade fair with millions of people streaming by, a sudden dizzy spell was immediately taken notice of by strangers whom inquired as to my wellbeing.Another time, when I was looking to go to Foshan , lots of people came by to egg me on to make the journey of many stops and changes of transport.I made it there and made it all the way back too.A big city does not have to be impersonal.Is the internet personal?I have a myspace thing now.I would say the myspace blog link to Tesla makes for a very interesting three day read.But what was disappointing was to read, at the very end of his life story, that he was similar to Howard Hughes and to Michael Jackson, in that he was a real stickler for absolute hygiene.I think that it is lucky that I have discovered the place of immunity in our lives, and for a short cut to immune intelligence through Transfer Factor Products. Otherwise, what an absolute Genius.
