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.
