"1. A person who does not know or isn't known in a particular place or company
2. A person one does not know"
- Oxford Dictionary
For me the real definition of stranger is they who come to your life, you barely recognize them and try to understand them. Strangers can be everywhere, whether it's abroad(foreign) or domestic, whether it's young-adults or person who is on it's mid-late 50's, whether it's in real life or virtual life. Strangers are different from people whom we met in the real life, you judge strangers like you judge character in a book, you judge them from their personality, their words, the way they write, because you never behold them, even it's a direct glance so much different if it's compared to judge a real life people or character in a movies, we mostly judge them from the way they look, even though many people do say "I don't judge people by their face" they can be honest but in other hand they could be lying.
I met a Turk in a real life once, he works for the YTB, he asked me "Why do you want to be in Turkey? Aren't Turks are bad?" then I replied him with "Well, bad people are not only living in Turkey, every country has their own villains and by saying 'bad' it's relative, for me bad people don't exist, we just have no congruent perspectives and point of views that make us will think different". The saddest part is not all of strangers are welcoming or hospitable or any other word to describe goodness, but as I a say before, we just have different point of views, so if someone judge you based on your country or your religion, what will you do? Are you gonna mad at them or maybe left yourself in a self-loathing because you live in a country full of terrorists for example, or a poor developing country? No, don't. You have to stand, you have to make people alter their point of views and if you can just left them rather than talking mocking or nagging back at them, because it does take time, like there's not always rainbow after a big rain or storm.
My advices, make friends with whoever you want to, whoever you think has similar point of views like you and the last but not least, stop judging people based on your narrow-minded speculation, I'd rather be silent instead of talking nonsense that no one cares. Have a good day!
