Peace & the world community
Just found this video on Youtube the other day:...
It is just a video of a guy doing a random geeky dance with other people in different spots all over the world. .. but it had 2 million views in the 1st few days and is up to nearly 3 1/2 million views now. I will admit that by the end of my 1st viewing my eyes were not totally dry.. and judjing from coments I have read it is not a unique result! So what is it about this video that seems to capture peoples attention and their heart?
Is it that at this time, in our hearts we are so needy for evidence of world community and peace? So needy that simple movie that places people from all over the world, from all cultures and ages on an equal footing, in one joined dance of celebration captures our imagination.
Nations are at odds with each other, wars are rife, exploitation of the poor is almost the norm... But judging from the reaction to this video I would make a guess that we the people want something else.
We want equality between all people... and a world community based on peace & joy.

Hi Janice. I clicked through here via your Mr. Linky signature at my BlogBlast For Peace site looking for your peace globe. So glad I did! This post caught my attention and I saw Matt's video for the first time. I will post about it on my blog later (and give you a mention and link) but just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed my visit.
Peace,
Mimi Lenox
