Thank you for posting that Nobodyslave, it is a beautiful and moving poem, a much needed kick of courage.

Thank you for that, Christian. I rarely miss an opportunity to experience any beauty and joy wherever it can be found. It's fuel for the spirit, I think. :)

I don't want to sound negative, I think the music is awesome, and the feelings that invade your heart are amazingly beautiful, but along the video I couldn't stop thinking "it's a bank advertising, it's a bank advertising, look, all the musicians are getting out from the bank!". Well, of course the intent and act of sharing this video is pure, but sometimes I feel like I'm so alert that I can not enjoy the ride... :/ Of course, other times my alertness is quite low...
I did not want to give my point of vue about this video because I respect the emotions that it gave it. But like Basque Seeker I just saw the advertising of Banco Sabadell. And living in Spain we know how "gentle" the banks are here and how "gentle" they are with all Spaniards. ;)That's why I did not like this video. But please, don't miss interpret me: music unite people from over the world. Music has no frontiers, musicians are magicians. Too bad that our politicians are not musicians.
Instead of listening the advertising of BAnco Sabadell today I listened the wind, another musician.

To me, this is a classic case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. While it is always important to try to understand a person's intent and know their historic behaviour in order to discern danger from their actions, it should, in my mind, be a separate process from appreciating whatever beauty may have resulted from their efforts, be it by accident or by intent.
I certainly appreciate the disdain toward banks, but I think it is important to recognize that large corporations are always sponsoring events, be it for publicity or for tax breaks, that can be enjoyed by us mere peasants. To judge an act by the actor put one in a position of missing the gems in the cracks of the pavement, perhaps missing messages from the divine through the most unexpected of messengers. If a bank decided to fund a food bank for the poor, does that somehow change the nutritional aspect of the food, even though the poverty was partially a result of the bank? If they sponsored a comedy festival, are the jokes less funny?
Willfully closing one's eyes and heart to the reality around oneself because an aspect of that reality is unpleasing just doesn't make practical sense, OSIT.
They chain the pens to the counter so you can't take them. I say take anything you can from them that you can, including whatever creative beauty they may produce and enjoy it.

I understand finding and appreciating beauty where you can, but it seems a little like the bread and circuses that the PTB have been using for eons.Gonzo said:I find it interesting that some could not experience, or allow themselves to experience, the beauty of the flash mob, either because it was contrived and not spontaneous or because it was associated with a bank.

A: New year coming!
What does that mean, 'new year coming'? I took it to mean their earlier prophecy of 2014 is getting closer. Any other thoughts anyone?
