I am occasionally reminded of how superficial most of our interpersonal interactions are. The other day I started talking to this guy who does housekeeping at the hospital. Turns out his family members are political refugees from Ethiopia because his dad (a retired general) was suspected of raising an army to overthrow the government. That was a lot more than I expected.
And it gets me thinking that I probably miss most of who the people around me really are. Most people around me probably miss most of who I am too. It is just the way we interact, but it seems like we probably miss out on a lot of a person when we get the superficial version.
