— Walt Whitman

Simplified Meaning:
If you see someone you don't know and feel like talking to them, go ahead and start a conversation. There's nothing stopping you from connecting with others, even if they are strangers. For instance, imagine you're at a park and you see someone reading a book you love. Asking them about the book could lead to a nice chat and maybe even a new friendship. This idea encourages you to break down barriers and be open to new experiences and relationships. Speaking to new people can bring unexpected joy, knowledge, and connections into your life. By reaching out, you can create a friendlier, more connected community.
