I was just watching this advertisement and I suddenly remembered how, in movie halls when the national anthem is played, the whole hall rises. First one person, then groups, some laughing, some taunting, but everybody rises. Some sing. Everybody stands as straight as they know how. And somehow, they stand till the end. It would be so easy to sit down or just keep lounging in the first place now that we no longer have our school teachers sneaking up behind us to check. Nobody sits, though.
It's a nice feeling.
