Human beings live in chunks of moments spread across the fabric of space-time interspersed with spots of alone-time. We spend nine to ten hours at work or school or any other situation that can be counted under "interacting with other persons". However if we go the granular details of our lives we'll find that one-to-one interaction with any human being is still quite rare for any particular individual.
Kripalu ji Maharaj in his discourses on the ephemeral nature of human life would give the analogy of train. Our lives are like a train journey where somewhere along the way we meet someone and have our share of laughs. When the stop comes we or our fellow passenger gets down and goes on his or her way. We cannot stop them for even a moment more. It's the destination and we've to get down leaving any attachment or empathy behind.
These chunks of our time we spend with others define our lives - who we are and who we will be. It's all in those moments that we get either happy with how things are going in our lives or we get sad on how things are going. In a way our lives turn on each of these interactions; whether it goes to the path of happiness or the alley of despair - it's our choice.
So whenever we get a chance to spend some time with others let's make it a merry moment and carry that happiness into our solitude so our lives are lifted above.
