About the beautiful feeling which is surrounding us when we are happy with other people

      The Joy of Life

       Who has not been overflowed with joy and enthusiasm at a ball game?  Is it thanks to a love of sports?  Possibly, but it is above all the feeling of being with others, in the same state of mind.  We then forget society's rules and we call each other freely, without even introducing ourselves.  We smile at each other and pat each other on the shoulder to express our "joy".  We are linked together through those natural forces, since our joy stems from the same source.

      Once the game is over, however, the human connection disappears.  Everything falls back in its place.  Your neighbor, who made friendly gestures during the game, ignores you outside the stadium.  The rules of society have taken over and the play of life is on again.

      Why aren't we capable of keeping up a communion of thought with our peers?  We'll need another opportunity to break the artificial wall of society and benefit from a short "joie de vivre."
