People pass by people. We don't often notice most of them. They're just a part of the scenery. The people we do notice are our friends and our enemies. The funny thing is that the wallpaper-people make just as much of difference in our lives.
They look from the inside in. Often unintentionally. We do the same. We glance over at the unknown and as humans, we make judgements. We declare the people outside our own personal circles according the labels society has laid out at our disposal. When we are faced with the unknown our comfortable response is just to assume instead of getting to know. Security within ourselves is the most prominent wall that we put up to the outside world.
Without even knowing it, the people who we think have no say or influence in our lives actually do. They secretly watch, pray, hope and watch out for us. Sometimes it also less sentimental. Sometimes they just see us.
No matter where we are though, we're never alone. The silent crowd will always have someone who is willing to step out.
