A paradigm shift: “An acceptance by a majority of a changed belief, attitude, or way of doing things”



His existence escaped my mind; a character of no noticeable qualities, inconceivable talent or significant position. After our 10 second introduction, he became merely another person in a sea of faces that I encounter only once on the road of life, walking in the opposite direction. There are people on this road that walk with me for a little while; others walk with me halfway. I’ve realized that, with life's many twists and turns, in the end, I have to complete this course on my own. I remain unsure of how long this road really is or what lies at the end. To some extent, this fact of uncertainty scares me. Life seemed like a blur of obscure people and abstract plans – an undefined reality with no clear path. Further down the road, I would realize that this stranger, who escaped my mind, was bound to me by invisible chains. Inevitably, many years later and on a different road, we would meet again and I would realize that something seemingly insignificant can unexpectedly alter your perspective, and with it, your life. A paradigm shift would occur.
