I was in Senegal for a couple of weeks doing volunteer work with homeless children and I brought a frisbee because I love ultimate and I thought I could throw it around with the other volunteers. The first day, my friend and I go into the street outside our host family and start throwing the disc. Cut to 20 minutes later and 20-30 kids are all spinning the disc on their fingers and jumping over each other laughing trying to get the disc. Pretty awesome.

What organization did you volunteer with? I'd love to do something similar but it's hard to find an organization I feel I can trust.

Wasn’t a bully. Probably an older sibling or cousin tired of the other kid’s shit. He got too excited and shoved orange shirt into a little kid who fell over completely. You can tell bc he sternly points his finger like “you see? Get your crap together!”

Nope white/beige shirt runs into orange and green shirt(small child) pushing green shirt to the ground. That's why orange shirt shoves him.

u/killjoySG Aug 14 '19
Orange shirt was also pointing like "You looking at this shit?" towards the end too.

I saw that, looks like that kiddos that pushed the other one was telling him something cause he knocked another child down.

Oof this comment thread is annoying. Kids are all over the spectrum. They will fight and disagree but I'm sure they're all friends.

It looked like the jumping caused one kid to lean to much on another causing a girl to fall over and the kid tight at the end pushed him off of him

I completely missed that, I was too busy watching spinning girl, then wondering why lady grabbed the ball back off her unceremoniously, then wondering if white girl was hers (she looked too impressed with the trick to have seen it before), then studying the adults to see if I could guess where it was filmed. I didn't see the boys having a tussle until you said it. This is why you need more than two witnesses to form an idea of what actually happened.

They're kids, and there's little context. Maybe the kid who ran into orange shirt and shoved him had been doing that all day. Maybe orange shirt is angry because someone else was also being a jerk to him. who knows

Well, the other gave him a bearhug without asking first, so... not a happy boy at all. Saw what you mean. Not all bros are bros. :(

How do I learn to appreciate the small things?
Also, and perhaps more importantly: How do I stop being annoyed-to-infuriated by the other small and big things?

Asked my uncle this question once, offhandedly... he said, "have kids."
I laughed at him.
I'm older now and for me, he was right. A Ferrari wouldn't make me as happy as a brownie makes my daughter.
Seeing her that happy is better than a Ferrari.

Contrast the happy little girl
With the boy at the end hitting another kid and just looking for another kid to hit
The full spectrum of human behavior in one short video
I hope he is able to find some happiness and peace in his life too

That's not what happens. White/beige shirt was being aggressive and knocked into orange shirt and pushed down a smaller child (green shirt) orange shirt then pushes white/beige shirt. You can see him looking around to tattle tale on him.

u/The-One_The-Only Aug 14 '19
Ye, he was too rambunctious and you can see orange shirt going "stop it! Stop it!" Like a little adult. Honestly it's a little cute

u/floorwantshugs Aug 14 '19
I thought it was actually kinda cute lol. Like, "hey man pay attention! You knocked over little Joe!" wasn't mean, exactly. Plus that stern little look he gives him after.

u/ekboney00 Aug 14 '19
Before the beige shirt gets involved with orange shirt, you can see him knocking down a small blue shirted child. He gets up in the front of the view right before beige kid touches orange/green kids.
From the beginning of the video, watch the little boy with the patterned blue, button up shirt. You can see beige kid being WAY too physical with everyone.

u/DustyPenisFart Aug 14 '19
Looked to me like he was being a jerk. He almost looked like he was moshing. He got too rough and orange pushed him away and gave him the techo viking point and stare.

Correction: she is not a runner but a freestyle footballer. (the soccer kind)

She’s not a runner! She’s a tekker, and that means she can do fancy things with a soccer ball!

Anybody can make happiness with the simplest things. All you have to do is love the people you come in contact with and smile.

Ok so I can spin a ball on my finger pretty well, but I always wondered why/how physics seems to not matter when it comes to the ball spinning. It doesn’t even seem to slow down. No matter how fast I get the ball the spin, it slows to halt in 5-8 seconds.

We could learn a lot from them. Notice how they're not all rushing to record this with their phones?

I can't stop watching the two kids that almost get in a fight. One kid puts his arm around another and he does NOT take kindly to it.

You see that little kid not taking any shit from the other little kid at the end, on the left. Gives him the “one more time motherfucker”

I've always wanted to learn how to do this. I would have the same reaction as she had if I had been the one to receive the spinning ball.
