Something In Common

I am watching the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics and I notice a stadium full of positive people from all over the world, all getting along and am seemingly exuberant.  How can this be?  Well, these people all in one place with something in common:  the love of athletics. Perhaps if we search for the things we have in common with people of other countries, instead of focusing on our differences, we can create a world that shares joy and comes together during times of sorrow, a tall order for a world of separatists, fierce with pride and often unwilling to see the good in those who are seemingly different.  I propose a one week contest:

For one week, make only positive comments, look for the positive in people and situations and after the week, post a comment here about any changes you notice.
