Flash mobs capture the beauty of coming together

| August 16, 2022 1:00 AM

If one wants to see the beauty of what it would look like if the whole world came closer together as one, I suggest going to YouTube and looking at all the videos under the search "flash mob."

Life seems so calm when one dreams that each of us is only one of a few million other humans alive at the same time. But like the uncountable stars in the universe, each of us is only a "brick in the wall" among the actual 7.8 billion other humans breathing at this moment on planet Earth.

I recommend going to YouTube and selecting "flash mob."  There are hundreds of choices, but start with: "Grease", Central Station Antwerp; flash mob Zorba - Vino; "Sound of Music", Central Station Antwerp; "Les Miserables" flash mob at Adelaide; and "Another Brick in the Wall".

Watching the surprised bystanders is the best part of the life-coming-together fun.
