Getting new links...

I was chatting with him when we started discussion about the no man is an island (rather dull topic)...  What's in life when we do not mingle... And yet when we mingle, we wished that we had not... Such irony... Joining in as part of the volunteering team in uni to help out freshies before the semester starts was a great experience... Mingling is one aspect, getting to know is another... Thus on the surface of socialization, how many links could we build to extend friendship? More often than not, we only had the moment of laughter when we are participating with anticipation... How many would have walked by with a smile of recognition long after all these end? Casual links are abundant but not firm links... They are passer-bys... As time passes, how many find out the same passion or interest just by mingling...? Mingling just for the sake of mingling is the trend now... where mingling allows the absorption of new experience, new perspective, new formal inter - beneficial links... It is a good thing I guess... As minglers could proudly say... we mingle and found lots of resourceful allies buddies with common interest...
