I think it helps to sort of pre-think, you know, what might I do if that happened? And it could be things like, well, I'll share something about myself or I'll comment on something that was in the news today or I'll ask them a question or I'll take a breath and just wait a moment and it'll be fine. But I have to make sure I don't panic. That would be a good thing to think about.

I saw this man with a net, and he was scooping up fish. And I thought, what in the heck is he doing? And so I went up and I asked him, I said, what are you doing? And he said he lived nearby, and he said, you know, this happens sometimes. We get a heavy rain, and the fish sort of wash downstream, and they get stuck somewhere, and then the water stops. goes down and they're in big trouble.

So I'm just, you know, catching the fish and moving them to somewhere where they're safe. And I thought, oh, this is amazing. This guy's a fish hero. And what a cool story, you know? And so we continued talking and the conversation shifted away from the fish and You know, it was early days in the pandemic, so inevitably we ended up talking about that.

And I discovered that he thought that the pandemic was a hoax and, you know, that the government was making up stories. And, you know, that's not my view. I couldn't understand why someone would think that way. You know, why would the government do that? And so, you know, I started to think, you know, I don't... who is this person and what's going on here? Here they are, a fish hero.

You know, I just think that we can serve a benefit to other people by talking to them and by listening to them. So I think it's pretty rare, at least in my own experience. I don't tend to get into any kind of heated topics when I'm talking to a complete stranger. It's usually fairly innocuous and fun.

It doesn't get into politics and religion and all the heavy stuff that we avoid at the Thanksgiving dinner table. a fun interaction. So I just let him talk a little bit, but yeah, it just sort of drew to a natural close and I moved on.
