We also spoke earlier about people turning off their brain.
And there are people who do all of this at the same time.
And those people are standing on Hill 16 during an All-Ireland final.
What those people have done very cleverly, and often without thinking it through, which is totally the best way to do it...
is they have merged themselves into a collective, into a group of people who are cheering and screaming and utterly, utterly committed to a match that's playing itself out on a pitch.
They have zero control over what happens on the pitch.
Maybe a little control by being a good supporter, but ultimately very little.
And they're not thinking about anything else.
All other thought is gone.
All Ireland final day.
Nothing else is happening at all in the fans' mind.
And they are surrendered into the collective in an incredibly profound way.
What a wonderful piece of therapy there.
It is a marvellous piece of therapy.
I cannot think of anything better for people to do.
You're letting the boundary of yourself and the person next to you merge.
You're going to be hugging a complete stranger when someone you don't know at all scores a point on the field.
Three points a goal.
You're kidding me.
It's very complex, as you say.
