This is ONE WORLD after all....

With all the crappy things going on in this world right now (war, terrorism, crime, etc), it's hard to find peace and universal togetherness.

I just discovered this video (actually part of a series), made by an individual who was paid by Stride Gum to travel the world and record himself doing his "signature dance." Amazingly, random people just joined in with him, doing their own dances.
Despite the humorous aspects of the video, it just gave me a sense of world unity. We really are all just members of the human race. We all experience the same feelings. We all laugh, we all cry, we all dance.
Here's his latest video:

So what have you experienced lately that seems to bring us all together as part of the human race?

That was one cool video, I got a warm fuzzy feeling while I was watching it.

Re: This is ONE WORLD after all....

Interesting question. I suppose even astronomers need to smile and remember that we are one world.

After all, it would be frustrating and sad to think of things like this all day:

This video *itself* doesn't really showcase "togetherness," but it's awesome, and has a nice message at the end.

That's excellent. Reminded me of my dog when I get home from work. Thanks for another smile, MB.
