unity makes people happy!

a friend sent this to me:



and I started wondering - do people get the point? this guy is going all around the world, "dancing" with kids and adults regardless of their background, regardless of who they are, where they're from or what they do in life. the point is clear - he doesn't care who you are, as long as you come and dance and have fun!

click here to then read the comments - it's making people happy, they're crying and enjoying it a lot.

what is it that makes us so happy to see something as simple as this? there're no words (except for the lyrics to the song which we don't understand), there's no real story, there's nothing more. I think it has to do with the fact that it's reflecting a very underlying spiritual principle - unity in diversity. we are all members of one human race, and seeing this guy dance all around shows just exactly that. continent, country, class, creed, gender - we are all one.

The world of humanity is like a garden and the various races are the flowers which constitute its adornment and decoration. ('Abdu'l-Bahá)
