In today’s divided country and world, it is a breath of fresh air when there is something we all can agree on.
And it happened today. The solar eclipse was cool.
For a few hours, people stopped fighting with one another, writing hateful messages and levying threats. Even the media made room for the one event that everybody in the world could witness on the same day, with or without those special glasses. And it had nothing to do with politics.
Maybe that’s what we need more of. Natural occurrences that are undeniable and that we all can witness at the same time and agree upon.
Hopefully something like this will come along again before another 100 years or so.
