All United as One



This video blew me away. My body was literally trembling with goosebumps when I watched it. Words couldn't have described what I felt. Astonished, amazed, stunned are some words that piled up on and on as the four minutes and twenty nine seconds played on. This was the first time I had experienced what they often described as "Pictures (Or videos in this case) are worth a thousand words." I don't believe I have ever been this touched for a very, very long time.

This YouTube viral video of Matt Harding dancing, a man who has the passion for travelling, experiencing different cultures, people and their customs. I envy him for having the ability and determination to travel to more than 42 countries in a year and two months!

It's amazing how the people featured in this video was willing to join in and celebrate with Matt for something as silly as this. Seeing our world united under one for a few minutes of dancing. For a moment, forgetting about all of the wars, hunger, poverty, and just dance and laugh. The children, adults, teenagers, elders, ones who wanted to dance, ones who didn't but was dragged by their friends anyway and the different colored faces, the exotic costumes gave us a broader view of how big our planet really is, it also showed us that the human nature is inviting.

All their smiling faces and laughter brought a even bigger smile to my face. It gave me the idea that a bad day can always be made for the better. There are so many things we have not tried, and to stay positive and look forward to the brighter tomorrow that lies ahead.

I hope this video inspires you just as much, or more, as it have for me.
