Two minutes
People meet in a vriety of places.A person goes to the grociery market and over the stupidest thing strikes up a conversation with a total stranger thus ending in an everlasting friendship or companionship.Someone goes to the local fair and gets on a ride with a total stranger.One year later the're planning there wedding.You move into a new place and the neighbor you never met before that day becomes one of your best friends.You get on the internet and meet the person you have always longed for but never thought you would find.Do you ever ask yourself about destiny and why we meet people in the places that we meet them?Or perhaps why they were ther at that very moment when the difference of two minutes would have been enough to have never met that person.Or the possability that in the two minute incounter your life would be forever changed.If you think about it everything that happens in our lives is a direct chain reaction to a first encounter with a stranger.Once you meet someone everything in your life that involves that person is a direct chain reaction of events thus ever changing our lives forever.It's amazing the effect that two minutes makes in changing our destiny.

Annah:
Liked the thought and intent behind this effort. So I gave it an "I Like It" vote to encourage you repost it after doing some rewriting as explained next. This will encourage others to want to read it.
This one needs some further work. To clear up some misspellings, redundancies, conjugation errors and clarification of meaning issues.
Things for anyone to keep in mind:
1. When it comes to success (or failure) timing plays a crucial role.
2. Destiny has a downside. In that it can lead to tragedy and unhappiness.
3. The internet is filled with peril and is not, always, the best way to make new acquaintances. With those with whom you may expect or wish to form lasting and/or intimate friendships.
Suggested deletions are in parentheses "()" and breaking the text into paragraphs can be helpful to the reader as well.
People meet in a variety of places. A person goes to the groc(i)ery (market) and (over the stupidest thing) strikes up a conversation with a total stranger thus (ending) forming in an everlasting friendship or finding a dedicated companion.(ship.)
Someone goes to the local fair and gets on a ride with a total stranger. One year later they're planning their(e) wedding. You move into a new place and (the) your new neighbor (you never met before that day) becomes one of your best friends.
You get on the internet and meet the person for whom you have always longed (for) but (never) thought you would never find.
Do you ever ask yourself about destiny? (and w) Why we meet people in (the) certain places? (that we meet them?) (Or p) Perhaps why they were there at that very moment? (w) When the difference of two minutes would have been enough for them to have never met? (that person.) Or the poss(a)ibility that in the two minute (i)encounter, your life would, (be) forever, change(d)?
(If you t) Think about it! (e)Everything (that) happening(s) in our lives (is) could be a direct chain reaction to an (first) encounter with a stranger. Once the two of you meet, (someone) everything, in both of your lives(fe) (that involves that person is a direct chain reaction of events thus ever) can change(ing) your lives forever.
It's amazing (the effect that) how two minutes may(kes in) change(ing) our destiny.
Happy trails,
Ed Bradley.

Annah: I would add to Ed's critique - a space between sentences is the accepted rule. (Used to be two when I was a youngster.) Nice little life observation, but it needs cleaning up.
