But neither is wasteful. People come into our lives for various reasons. it feels like there's a mystical element of unknown to it. But they come into our life, it is up to us to decide how close we let them be. This depends on our outlook and confidence in the initial perception we will have about them.

And that's also the fun part, isn't it? Without these multiple small stops, we will not know if we are going in the right direction.
