Sometimes humans are beautiful creatures who make beautiful, joyful things. Let's go back through some of the best flash mobs of all time, shall we? Forget the news for a sec and let a little joy in your heart. https://twitter.com/RexChapman/status/1341739884252434432

There was the Hallelujah chorus in a Canadian mall in 2010.

There was the Sound of Music in Antwerp, with bonus adorable children and the glorious voice of Julie Andrews.

There was the tribute to the King of Pop in Stockholm.

Prisoners in the Philippines did this routine to Michael's music and it was so popular it became a tourist attraction.

Dozens of women in London dropped their coats and did their best Beyonce

This one has a surprise in it. From Dublin.

A little Ravel at the train station? Sure. This is the Copenhagen Phil.

And to up the difficulty, the Copenhagen Phil then played Grieg inside a train car.

Australia, drag, and a whole bunch of female rockers.

Russians using dance to warm up in the cold.

I know it's an ad for T-Mobile, but I love love love the Welcome Back flash mob from 2010

This one is also an ad - for WestJet, but I would be thrilled if more corporations paid artists and performers to bring a little joy into our lives.

And this is one of my favorites - dancing through the decades of British pop music

In 2009, Bollywood took over Times Square

Remember, the human brain is evolutionarily primed to remember negative information more readily than positive. Unpleasant experiences are more vivid, more lasting. So, you have to fill your mind with joy. Take in 5 moments of happiness for every moment of pain.

And even though it seems like humans are awful, that's partly because we can remember bad stuff more easily than good. Never, never forget that humans are more likely to help each other than any other primate. We are less likely to fight. We are all born as empathic creatures.

Humans have an incredible capacity for joy, for love, for empathy and compassion, and for beauty. It's hard to remember some times, but our species is amazing. Look around you. People are worth celebrating.
End of thread.

OK, just a couple more because these Jerusalma videos are making me giddy with happiness.

THIS IS PURE DELIGHT!! Look at these muffins.
