BTS Concert Thought/Reflection

Added 2023-12-18 18:40:22 +0000 UTC

Totally random message here -- but I was reflecting on the concert we watched the other day/the intense emotional experience we get while watching.

Why do we get these intense feelings? Many reasons, I believe. I wrote down several and I'm most likely going to do a video on it.

But here's a thought: when your cup is full, it's much easier to give -- in fact, we generally want to give when our cup is full. Think about how much easier it is to just smile, or do a random act of kindness (i.e. holding the door open for a stranger) when you're feeling fulfilled. So when BTS fills our cups, we want to give back to them -- it's easy because they've filled our cups. So, we do. And they feel the love, the loyalty, the appreciation -- their cups are full -- and so they give back to ARMY in spades. And then the cycle continues.

And perhaps that's why we experience such heightened emotions during a concert. Because we're experiencing this constant giving and receiving in real time. It's this continuous transfer of love. Our cups are both full, so it feels endless and heightened during this time.

Anyway, just a thought :)

Hope everyone is having an amazing start to your week and I'll talk to you soon.
