It’s marvelous that people act orderly in such a crowd. To see everyone getting united by a single common goal, I’ve come to think that there must be a goal towards which all mankind is striving. Why should we not strive towards the goal together, since it is what unites us all? Your post is not only informative but also food for thoughts.
