Sonder
(n.) the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own-
populated with their own ambitions, friends,
routines, worries and inherited craziness- an
epic story that continues invisibly around you
like an anthill sprawing deep underground,
with elaborate passageways to thousands of
other lives that you'll never know existed, in
which you might appear only once, as an extra
sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of
traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted
window at dusk.
