From Richard Bach's writings:
#2-1 The best way to avoid responsibilities is to say, "I have got responsibilities."
#2-2 Your friends will know you better in the first minute you meet than your acquaintances will know you in a thousand years.
#2-3 The simplest questions are the most profound. Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while, and watch your answers change.

Some people I meet, within minutes, we are chatting away comfortably as though we have known each other for years. And it is not just people who have similar interests or agree with my views, they could be different but we just... connect. I guess there are shared values somewhere. I find it difficult to connect with people of a suspicious nature.
The so-called simplest questions could be difficult to answer! Even if it sets you thinking, it is useful.
