As I walk through the crowded streets of downtown, weaving in and out the various people, my eyes make contact with a stranger. I look into the man's eyes and suddenly our souls become intertwined. I can feel all the pain and sorrow of his life and for one moment, we are not two separate people but rather one person empathizing with each other, become united in our pain. and as quickly as it started the man glances away and I wonder did he feel the same thing as I did?
