GOOD FEELINGS

A person can be lonely, living in his own shell,
within himself or alone in a lonely crowd.
Each of these shells is a shell of isolation.
Another person can penetrate the shell,
interacting with the person in the shell.
This is an example of social interactions.

Give a smile to another person.
Then say, “How Are You Doing?”
The smile and the simple message
are picked up by the other person.

The shells of isolation are penetrated.

Both persons are having good feelings.
