You know that feeling when you’re watching a soccer game, and it’s really cold, and the stadium is mostly empty, and then the referee makes a bad call, and you’re upset at the call, and so you decide to throw a snowball at the referee? And then another one? And another? And another?
And then other fans start throwing snowballs? And then by continuing to throw the snowballs, you begin to feel part of a community, that you have something intrinsically in common with these other snowball hurlers, and you begin to rediscover the common humanity you all share, and you find that beautiful and suddenly you feel warm amid all that snow?
