Elena

Elena

is a woman I talked to
on the street in my first day in Tallinn

Just 3 minute quick chat
No contact exchange
We will probably never meet again

Because
I just asked her for the direction to the old town
and that's all

---

She said
her favourite place in Tallinn is Kadriorg Park

Kadriorg Park was on my list for sightseeing
I visited there the next day

After the park,
I found a certain sense of joy occurred inside me

It was joy that I could know a person a bit deeper

I felt like I got to know her a bit more

---

Experiencing things he/she likes

means

Knowing about him/her more
Experiencing him/her deeper

Because
this sense, "Like", contains a core element of this person

Because
this emotion, "Like", is what brings meanings to our life

Because
our life is led by "what we like" & "what we don't like"

---

I knew almost nothing about Elena
Rather, I didn't have a particular desire to know about her

But after walking in Kadriorg Park,
joy & delight was certainly felt in me

It was joy that

I felt likeI got to know her more
I felt like I got to know other human beings more
I felt like I could come across someone who must have very similar likings to me

And now,
I'd like to meet her again
