some insights I want to talk about the people I meet:

1. no matter what your occupation is, life is perceived as complicated. a housewife's troubles are as big as a prime minister's. 24 hours is just not enough. if you think cooking for the family yet another day is not a life worth living, think again, some people make an art of it. Before underestimating, think again.

2. it's so easy to bring the bad out of people. well, my aim wasn't exactly that but it was to eliminate the masks and hopefully reach the real part inside. I know it can be pretty ugly in there, but these revelations are so impulsive at times... Still, it needs to be done if you are looking for something deeper than shallow relationships & fake id's.

• The main point is giving the other party some kind of power (the non-permanant type is certainly recommended) and see if they can handle it without abusing the offer and going corrupt,
  
• eliminating short-term sanctions of not obeying invisible norms & rules & ethics,
  
• not acting like a pure angel so the other party doesn't feel as if s/he is in a church/mosque/synagogue,
  
• behaving differently when in a group and when alone with him/her which will quicken the revelations.
  

You may think that acting to counter-acts is arrogant. I agree, but if the other party is not abused/misdirected/tricked in any way and only ill-intentions are exposed, no harm done.

3. people are welcoming strangers in this country more than they welcome their kins. if they are alone when approached, they do show their plain enthusiasm and sincerity. if they are in a group, they tend to act as if they are superior, showing off their mesmerizing illumination (!) simply because they are approached by a stranger who has a one-a-day project to accomplish for the day.

4. newspaper & cigarettes unify people.

5. movies that are not among the best tend to be misleading about humans. the usual disadvantages of the magnifier effect... books are closer to reality. take the time.

6. rich are more comfortable with exposing their body. I don't want to deep dive into the details.

7. in the business environment, intimacy exists despite common knowledge and it matters.

8. "sophisticated" ladies and gentlemen who are educated in the best schools and who are at top positions can be shallow and insensible beyond expectations. the tip of the iceberg may be all that there is. likewise, ordinary people who don't hold breath-taking positions in life can be very deep and understanding.
