I just want everyone to experience this level of exuberance in life, whatever pursuit brings it and even shared for mutual edification.
Instead, we have countless ways to inflict burdens and misery on each other from the trivial to the horrific. Asked why and they'll give you [reasons].

:--------------------------:
"The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot."
~ Carl Sagan - Pale Blue Dot

Well that was fun to watch.... now, I still believe this one lands in the realm of philosophy because got me thinking, why is it that young girls dancing like that makes me feel energized? I want to storm out and clean my lawn, wash my car, run aournd the block ten times, fix stuff around the house.....man, I can take the world by storm right now !!!! (See what I am saying? It's just a video, right?....think again, it's a little priceless nugget of how life can be, even for a moment)

I was thinking that just watching it is like aerobic exercise. The energy is truly infectious. And I can relate to that level of joy in other activities besides dancing.
In another era, that joie de vivre looked like this.

Or even this.
High Strung bar scene dance.
Dammit. I just noticed. This was meant to go in Philosphy and Meaning (seriously). Now I have to see if I can figure how to share from here.

IKR? ?
@WilliamCharles um...what?
@JustRyan IKR = I Know, Right?
@JustRyan I find this quite helpful.
In comparison, no reasons needed for this. It's just a bit of awesomeness expressed by our fellow human beings.

With nothing but the prospect of a better and brighter future ahead... just like now (cough).
For a second I thought it was all about legs, midriff and hair.

And yet, that's the beauty of being alive. That might indeed be all it's about. But that others might feel a deep joy like that from what brings them similar pleasure is to be encouraged.
@WilliamCharles certainly did not intend to preclude "deep joy".
