"It's a world of laughter, a world of tears. It's a world of hopes, and a world of fears. There's so much that we share, that it's time we're aware. It's a small world after all." - written by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman & made famous by Walt Disney

The Kiss Seen Around the World

There are many moments in history that I would like to go back to just to expenience the emotion in real life.  One of those would be Victory over Japan Day in Times Square (Aug. 14th, 1945). The Kiss or VJ Day in Times Square from Life magazine is one of the most famous photographs in American history and captures the emotion of this event and draws the onlooker into the scene.  After almost four years of war, I can only imagine the exhuberation and relief brought by the end of the conflict.  I never want to have to experience world war but the joy of these two strangers celebrating something that ended halfway around the globe is something that all should find in their lives.
