This I Believe


A few weeks ago in journalism class we listened to a This I Believe article. The article was about a women who worked at a diner and she talked about how growing up her parents always told her not to talk to strangers.  But in her essay she did talk to a stranger. It was an old man who would come to the diner every day and order the same meal. She would sit down and have conversations with him like they were family or best friends. She talked about how she stopped seeing him for while. She got a phone call and they told her that he was in the hospital and he wanted to see her. And later he had died.

I think that in situations like this it is good to talk to strangers but then again its not because that person is a stranger. You don’t know that person. You don’t know their back round or what they are about. So therefore you cant just speak to random people. Some people could be killers looking for their next victim. And that could be you. So in some cases talking to stranger can be good but it could also be bad.
