Take a Seat - Make a Friend?
While I was surfing on the internet, I came across with a video called Take a Seat - Make a Friend?. It was about a ball pool set up in
the middle of a road and has a sign that said Take a Seat - Make a
Friend? . Strangers went
inside and became friends. That does seem kind of scripted, but the idea of
this video is fascinating. They were just strangers. However when they were in
the ball pool away from their own world and just talked, they found something
in common. People who got something in common really build a connection between
each other.
Taking the idea seriously and reforming it, we could make
friends more easily. Maybe we can take the idea to schools (of course, the ball
pool is an option). On the first day of school, people tend to be really shy.
It's hard to make friends when you are too shy to talk. Maybe in class, teacher
can create activities that are similar to that video. New students will slowly
feel comfortable and show their true self. Of course, you can't make friends
with everyone else. There are people who are just not meant to be your friends.
It is interesting to watch how people can connect so easily if
they leave the real world behind. If it weren’t for this video, maybe they
would just walk by each other. Maybe they will ignore each other or judge them
by their appearance. In this society, especially in the city, people don't
connect, not with their neighbor, and not with anyone! I know many people have
500 friends on Facebook, but in real life, do people really know these people
well? Like this video, we need to do more face-to-face conversations.
This video warms my heart; I hope it warms yours too.
I agree, but sadly, I admit that these days I prefer to just send someone a text or email than talk to them face to face.
ReplyDeleteAmber-- did you really proofread? Work on fixing it yourself, and I will give you some more points if you make accurate corrections. 14/20
