Here is a thought from Bonhoeffer that I thought was very fitting addition to my previous ponderings regarding strangers turning into friends.
"We are separated from one another by an unbridgeable gulf of otherness and strangness which resists all our attempts to overcome it by means of natural association or emotional or spiritual union. There is no way from one person to another. However loving and sympathetic we try to be, however sound our psychology however frank and open our behaviour we cannot penetrate the incognito of the other man, for there is no direct relationships, not even between soul and soul. Christ stands between us, and we can only get into touch with our neighbors through Him."
