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 sprawling 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.
