One More Light

I don't know how many of my readers are BTS fans, but for those who don't know, one thing that is unique to Korean concerts, especially BTS, is the use of lightsaticks in the audience. BTS lightstick is called an Army Bomb, and they are sold to fans to use at the concert to enrich the experience. One unique feature is that the newest Army Bombs, can be control through Bluetooth at the venue so the can change color to the music based on where you are sitting. For those who have not seen what they can do, please watch the video below so you can see just a snippet of what I mean.

This video does not do justice though to the amazing experience to be apart of the audience with the Army, and to see and be apart of the wave. I got to experience a BTS concert as a graduation gift to myself in May, it is truly something else being in the audience with all the other fans and watching  BTS perform and watching the Army Bombs, in sync with the music. 

And I got to thinking. There are so many people from all different backgrounds and beliefs who come together and they can create something beautiful with all their Army bombs that they have.  What if we applied this same concept to other areas of our lives. What would happen if we join with other people to help plant trees, or feed the hungry. There are so many things we can do to help make the world a better place, and instead of thinking of what divideds us, we focus on what brings us together to create something beautiful. Fans who attend these concerts don't talk about what makes them all different, but they spend their time talking about their interests and together they they support BTS and allow for these beautiful Army Bomb creations to happen. 

So this week, instead of focusing on what makes us different, focus on what makes us the same, and how we can use these interests to create something beautiful.
