Cancelled Flight

You have probably experienced it.
A room full of people in an airport
waiting at the gate
to depart to a common destination...
some reading
some eating
some listening to music
few talking...
isolated
from each other.

Curiously,
after my flight was cancelled after hours of waiting
we all were instantly united.
We were the passengers of Flight ____.
We talked.  We shared.  We helped each other.
The next day we rejoiced together
when we were finally able to go home.

What if we all acted that way about reaching
our final destination?
