Effervescence is a legitimate phenomenon. In today’s world, we mostly only acknowledge it in a sports setting, when thousands of people are screaming for an outcome decided in real time by a few number of others (go Niners). But that cheering accounts for something, and we sort of acknowledge it, and sort of dismiss it. Momentum is real, as much on a sports field as in daily life. And it’s magnified when it involves others. When we recognize that, we can harness our full human potential.
