It's hard to put into words why this short video, "Where The Hell Is Matt?," touches something so visceral, but one tends to feel hopeful when watching it. Yeah, it's only a man taking his silly dance across the world, but there is a sense of unity, an acknowledgement that even though we are culturally different we can find something to appreciate in each other. It's a brief moment that offers an explosion of joy instead of bombs, and it's true it's a moment that belies the reality, but suggests there is a possibility that one day maybe we can accept and celebrate our differences. I realize how much I sound like a Pollyanna, yet I wonder why it is easier to hate, to slander, to kill than it is to simply dance across the globe without an agenda.
