Halloween brings out the best in us. Its a day of self expression, arts and decorations - a day where people act how they really want to act, dress how they want to dress, and be whoever they want to be. We interact with each other, talk to neighbors, run into the streets, and kick through the leaves. We give compliments and smile at people we wouldnt otherwise make eye contact with. We stay out late, we dance, we meet new friends. Leaves falling and skeletons rattling remind us that death is a part of life - and despite Halloween traditionally being viewed as a spooky time, nobody really seems afraid of anything. Children all across America are taught not to talk to strangers, and certainly to never take food from them. Yet on Halloween, kids run from house to house, taking candy from people theyve never met. Its amazing! Its a testament to how much we can trust each other. Most importantly, on October 31st, people seem happier. We can learn a lot from Halloween.
