It wasn't long ago when I strolled the streets of Manhattan in search of a place to have a little lunch. What I observed in my walks was the same on every street. Every person walks rapidly with a kind of tunnel vision and will not dare look at the person who is passing by in the opposite direction. There must be a tacit agreement among walkers in NYC. Don't dare meet the eyes of another person. This could mean instant death by the lasers that shoot out of the other pedestrian's eyeballs.
I found my little bistro and had a lovely sandwich. Once I returned to the streets I looked ahead and learned my lesson quickly. It was my naivete getting the best of me. Keep your head up there. Stay strong. Don't speak unless spoken to.
